"Why do anarchists hate voting?", some ask.
They must have had teachers intent on teaching opposite of truth.
Anarchists want you to, in a form or other, vote on everything in your life, always, by vote or act, just... not only every 3/4/5 years and then be violently blocked from ruling your own life, unless they happened to be one of the few already empowered enough to be able to run for mandates that wasn't for them to take nor for any other of the parliamentarism voters to give away, just existed because some dead white dudes said long ago it's the only way to self-govern, while part of the ruling-class.
Or, you know, you COULD have representatives too in some forms of anarchism, but only if their representation was immediately revocable, as otherwise it's not representative at all, just as "representative democracy" is not representative but is directly anti-democratic.
The fediverse is #NotAllMen. In fact, it's #MostlyWomen.

When you add all that up, we start to be a city where more and more of the things you rely on are rusted out, leaky, cracked, broken and having to close from time-to-time while we do patchwork repairs."
In order to keep taxes flat, Toronto is deferring state-of-good-repair spending: https://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2019/02/11/how-a-budget-with-less-money-for-repairs-could-leave-toronto-rusted-out-leaky-cracked-broken.html
#NotAllMen have a totally radical fingerboard collection
And frankly that's a shame.
@evan the only troop I respect is that guy who called the Seattle city council a bunch of fucking bootlickers
Liberal society is based entirely around the oppression of others. It doesn’t matter who is oppressed, as long as that someone is oppressed. It achieves this through is systems of government and especially through the capitalist system.
To destroy the foundation of these systems, to drive the entire system to ground, and destroying it. This is the only logical conclusion to the flaws of liberal society: the replacement of it.
The nature of liberal society, no, it’s entire foundation, is based on the systems of oppression. In the response to this fact, two reactions have formed: leftist thought, and fascism. Fascism is an embracing of the foundation of oppression, which liberalism chooses to ignore. Leftism is instead the rejection of this foundation.
Many liberals seek to destroy the foundation, but they also seek to keep the structure of liberal society. This is impossible.
Anarchist. Cat. Anarkat. White Cis Male. Don't worry, I'll die eventually. Polyamorous & pansexual. Sometimes I say dumb stuff. When that happens, tell me. I'll figure it out.
Location? Idunno. The walls are grey and plain, and it's difficult to get to. Could be a bunker. Or a suburb. Hard to tell.
I drive. A lot. Many attempts have been made on my life by whatever spirit is behind bad drivers, but I'm still around.
