Yes it’s anarchist, which is leftist

You could Google that instead of asking someone you obviously just want to dunk on

Go away

You shouldn’t have to, but unfortunately the doors won’t open otherwise 😁

“Mobs” is a loaded word. This isn’t vigilante justice. This is how social systems work.

Sorry, I thought this was “lefty memes,” not “bootlicker memes.” My mistake.

This sounds very classist to me. Level of education has nothing to do with being a good person. If you’re educated, but you’re too cowardly to stand up for what’s right, then your education is a complete waste.

The people getting forced off the train are the ones being bigots. For example, people who make comments against gay people, women, trans people, or black people. People who act like that get forced off at the next stop. Not just bigots, but I’ve seen people taking creepshots of young women get pressured off the train/bus as well. No cops needed. Does this make sense?

It doesn’t happen every time, but it happens enough in certain neighborhoods. I’ve seen it multiple times.

Looks like the people who are hurt are the ones downvoting a perfectly good meme. Just because y’all let bigots use you as a doormat doesn’t mean we’re all pathetic cowards.

What the fuck does this have to do with forcing bigots off the train? Clueless ass comment. Blocked.

I’m sorry you don’t ride with better people. It’s great to see!

Quote me saying that. I didn’t.

Nice bait, though. Someone who’s not paying attention to the conversation might have been fooled by it.

It sounds to me like you’re a good person. The people they’re talking about are the ones who may have stopped hating, say, gay people – but who have redirected their bigotry toward other marginalized groups like trans people or Palestinians.

In my opinion, there’s effectively no such thing as a good or bad person – it’s the words and actions that count. No matter what you’ve done in the past, that’s over now.

This! One of the most disgusting trends I’ve seen are people misappropriating queer symbology to try to queerwash their genocide of Palestinians. They don’t care about us anymore than they care about the children they’re murdering.

No one person can represent an entire culture though. That’s why it’s on us to learn how to be respectful.

For example, someone from Mexico might be just fine with offensive Hispanic stereotypes, but that doesn’t excuse such behavior. You can’t just ask a random person for a pass, like what? Even asking for something like that would be utterly tasteless lmao

But cultural appreciation is not what is meant by “cultural appropriation.” Cultural appropriation is when it’s done in a disrespectful manner.

I grew up with some utterly racist experiences in school – the feather “headdress” and cardboard tipis, the sombreros on Cinco de Mayo, etc.

I wish I’d had someone at the time to explain why that was wrong.

To me, the term “cultural appropriation” refers to things like schools having kids make chicken feather “headdresses” to “celebrate” Native American Day, or wearing a religious symbol in a disrespectful way. Even though people like the person in the post can be annoying, I think it’s still progress that we’re able to have these discussions, and I think it’s too bad that for many people the takeaway seems to be “cultural appropriation is never problematic.” I’d take the person from the post any day over someone who thinks they’re immune from criticism when they unintentionally engage in behavior that truly is disrespectful.

Maybe I’ll start sharing posts about some of the essays and books I read, just to start more discussion. I’m sure my admin will let me know if it’s too unhinged 😸

There’s also [email protected]

I wish I had more to contribute, but I always feel like I’m rambling and trying to sort things out for myself vs. ever having a distinct point. I’d like to see a more active anarchist community because most of the communities I use aren’t exactly great places to discuss anarchism without getting dunked on.

Edit: Oh wait, we’re in that community lol

Knitting is super fun. I used to do it every day until I started my masters. I keep thinking I should restart this hobby. As long as you don’t buy ridiculously premium yarns, it’s super cheap too. I used to find boxes of yarn at yard sales or thrift stores.

Thank you for linking an alternative. I actually like it even more than the enshittified one.

“Look sir, my quest log is very, very full. If I get you this can of tuna, that’s it right? Just to that vendor and back again? This won’t lead me into some Dwemer ruins or Daedric temple?”

I’m thinking about Costco, for example
