And I swear, if it wasn’t for the very awesome people on Hexbear especially in the trans mega who have these kinds of cute cartoon avatars, blahaj, all the anime stuff etc I would have like a 100% hitrate for assuming that that subculture (apologies if this reads as pointing at trans communities, in my estimation there’s definitely way more cis chasers in these communities than trans people) is just full of people who never log out and perceive all political struggle as a process in which two online communities beef with each other over which pieces of content are problematic, which aesthetic cultural references are acceptable to make, and what memespeak is based or cringe. There is simply no connection to the real world. Never any mention of organizing, solidarity, hell they never even talk about mutual aid which I KNOW that actual anarchist comrades do all the time. I almost feel like the only reason these types love to claim the anarchist label is that they know anarchist communities are less centralized so it’s harder to catch on to the fat load of nothing they’re doing. Yeah, I go to a horizontal organization, but she goes to another school and you can’t see her.
