      You can’t be an anarchist and support drinking milk or eating animals, but you can be pressured into doing them by circumstance.

      The reason we are anarchists rather than elective monarchists trying to find the most morally upstanding people and putting them in positions of power is that we recognize people will shape themselves to their material conditions. All Cops Are Bastards includes people democratically elected to be cops.

      We shouldn’t ask anarchists to quit milk (or chocolate or electronics or cute clothes or cars) we should ask them if they want to burn down the milk factory (or whatever is better praxis than that).

          Somehow people who say that always interpret “having a choice” in a way that excuses their own personal vices from social control while demanding others to conform to their lifestyle. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

          And if you think you are capable of simply choosing not to exploit, you are a blind fool and you will hurt your fellow anarchists whenever a means to power falls into your lap. Unlearning systemic exploitation will take generations, and people will never be done unlearning their own personal tendencies towards exploitation.

              Nah, we can encourage each other as we’re weaning ourselves off stuff, we can celebrate our wins big and small, we can set boundaries and help each other in ways we’re comfortable with, and we can set milk factories on fire.

              Resistance is a marathon, not a sprint. An essential part of training to do it well is coming to understand your own limits of what you can give and how it feels to give too much or not enough.

      Hopefully in our lifetime they’ll start switching to synthetic milk which would be vegan, but then there’s the company making it. If it’s ReMilk it’s an Israelian company, so…

    The others make sense as logical impossibilities, but why can’t an anarchist be a white supremacist?

      Anarchism is about the abolition of hierarchy, so one race being superior to another would be a hierarchy antithetical to anarchism. The real question is what the fuck is “whyt” supremacy?

        Should be racial supremacy.

        Im guessing Whyt supremacist is new kind of self censoring. The list of words that are censored keep growing faster than I care to keep up
