RE: My Statist & Anarchist Challenge

in #anarchy9 years ago

Did I hurt your feels? I'm sorry. But seriously, if you can't bring yourself to stop gladhanding with anarchist and shitposting on statist posts but to actually engage in a discussion and debate about anarchy, then, while you may support anarchy, like any other blind zealot, you show you have no real basis for that support.
The hallmark of an anarchist is typically one that is critical in their thinking and knowledgable in their topics and willing to learn what weaknesses they have so they can shore them up.

So if it upsets you that I'm daring you to learn your weaknesses and I'm daring you to prove to yourself whether or not you actual have a case for supporting anarchy, then that's on you. But if anarchists aren't able to put themselves in the fire of debate then it is for naught because it is only through knowledge and the spreading of that knowledge that ANY idea has a chance. You can only know what you don't know by testing what you think you know and you can only spread what you know by bringing it up to those who disagree with you.

Either you're an hip, edgy, angsty person who likes being the underdog and has embraced anarchism for its non-acceptance by mainstream society or you're someone that wants to better themselves and have their freedom and realizes that the only way any of us live in a free world is if all of us want a free world and so we need to get the discussion out there, not keep it amongst ourselves.
