    I see how you could read a version of this post that wasn’t mean spirited, as you describe.

    But this specific post, doesn’t do that good-will commentary that you describe.

    They’re not pet-baby-anarchists, they’re pet anarchists.

    The examples it’s using, are not the real problems one has, when first starting to get out of authoritarianism (inner cops we all have in us), they’re fucking production problems, which are

    trivially

    easy to answer and reconstruct in good faith, it just takes time to explain, because we live in nested systems of violence, and have been bullied to think that that’s reality.

    This post relies on you assuming:

    decentralized production is stupid,

    in order to, by extension, say that

    anarchists are stupid.

    In this way, anyone who has suspicions about one of the two maybe being true, can be convinced that both are true.

    Textbook fascistic propaganda methods, literally out of Nazi Minister of Propaganda’s playbook.

    Sorry, but in the interest of being brief, I’d say you’re being victim-blamey. I bet your intentions are good, but we’re taught to think in this toxic way:

    “If all anarchists had good takes, {others wouldn’t attack them}.”

    “If baby anarchists never spoke until fully fledged, [we wouldn’t have this problem].”

    “If she didn’t buy a taser and get self defense training, <she shouldn’t dress like that>.”

    Yeah, no. When someone attacks, keep your attention on the attacker.






  • For the case you’re honestly asking, it was just an attempt to draw humor from contrast (The Edds are drawn and written in an extremely unsexy way), and appreciation (implying that I took for granted that someone may like them enough to overcome the unsexiness of their design and loop back around to being attracted to them).

    Because I consider that cartoon cool and awesome, as well as intentionally and obviously kinda ugly
