Anarchy is very cool, until someone has the wrong opinion.

    That’s not anarchy, that’s being an asshole. You are generalizing an entire group based on the actions of one person.

      Calling names doesn’t change the structural reality I’m pointing out: that there are a lot of people using ‘anarchy’ as a mask for top-down, centralized authority.

      I’m not attacking anarchism. I AM an anarchist who is tired of seeing it appropriated by authoritarians.

        Then I think instead of saying “This type of people do this bad thing”, maybe phrase it as “doing this goes against the values of the people you claim to be a part of”.
