minus-squareRedDoozer@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20arrow-down5·7 months agoActually, there seems to be a bit of a mix-up. Let me clarify. In an anarchist group, enforcing anything goes against its fundamental principles. If personal gain is the motive, one isn’t truly aligned with the group’s social contract and isn’t considered part of it. Decisions are made collectively, without hierarchy. Voting or delegating organisational tasks to sub-groups is the norm. I won’t go into words like “attacking,” “defense,” or “threats” as they are military terms, far from the anarchist ethos. And I won’t call you “bro” or make you read theory. I feel you won’t.

I just don’t have the energy to keep fighting, honestly.
