to add, the point of Rojavas and “centralized” military forces - this is where syndicalists tend to find their strongest justifications, in having built in systems of military federation that are demonstrably effective without making it super incentivized to do power centralization.

“we have not seen anarchism at a [large scale]” this is extremely debatable, historcally speaking large communities have existed in pseudo anarchistic systsms off and on across the world. The general counter is to claim that hierarchal governance, especially the state, are variously metastable governance systems which outcompete anarchistic communities. But this is only historically supported inasmuch as they did “win out”, but that is not actually evidence that it’s the only metastable form of large scale governance.

whether you believe the us fucked around or not, genocide is not schaudenfreude.

optimism and hope are necessary in all scenarios, i dont know who rr is beyond this article but these are mostly fair things to be optimistic about. by optimism i do mean things that imply it’s not necessarily the worst case scenario, that this is perhaps a 2 and change regime and not a 70+ year regime, and that some responses to the horrors are working. Even more someof these things imply a civil war is not as likely as it might be, which is a massive win unless you are a bloodthirsty fool. Could you be more specific with your problems here?

some damage yes but this is big for limiting further firings.

the game is broadly allegorical to mental health struggles but especially with transitioning.

politics complaint aside, your observation about people using this to complain about a neopronoun seems apt. none of the content of complaints about drag’s use of neopronouns actually seem relevant to drag’s use of neopronouns. someone trolling with neopronouns is trivially handled by just accepting the neopronouns…

People are very much parts of and products of the systems they exist in.

Anyway anarchism doesn’t mean no organization and no ability to handle dispute. Just ask the Kurds what they think anarchist societies do in response to oppression.

It’s good to be trying to learn by asking questions but I also recommend just going and reading about the mechanisms you’re asking about.
