i end up following and blocking so many anarchists on twitter just because I lose the patience to deal with their completely uncritical acceptance of the us state dept line on foreign issues. the one i just blocked, who had been a mutual, had many good domestic politics opinions but ultimately when ur reblogging things that talk about how ‘actual socialists hate tankies’ it’s a real display that your worldview is extremely America-centric and flawed. and i just don’t have the patience to engage these people endlessly about how the world is more complex than ‘anarchism good, tankie bad, capitalism badder’. which is a failure of myself as an educator and engagement when like i don’t have that option in real life, i have to work with what i have, but online i lose my patience more easily.
