Yeah, I'm in this picture - attempted back in December. In order for me to regain hope I had to focus on the goal of leaving the US and moving to China.

The anarchist space performs an essential role for radicalization - it allows a way for someone to radicalize left without rejecting the narrative posed by the capitalist propaganda machine. This is how I was first radicalized. The capitalist propaganda is so pervasive that its easy to take many of its assumptions for granted. Even if you begin to reject the narrative, it's hard to avoid falling into the assumptions posed by it. Radicalizing leftward makes it easier to reject the capitalist narrative later, allowing radicalization to happen in phases.

Much of the infighting between anarchists and tankies is, in my view, created by the capitalist propaganda machine. By manufacturing conflict they make coordination between us more difficult, and also slow the radicalization process from anarchist to tankie.

CIA bots making bad-faith arguments to defame and fracture leftist movements, I suspect.

If you're sorry about colonialism than why aren't you advocating for the return of the Koh-i-noor?

Thank you - that means a lot. I'd love to meet up when the time comes.
