I was banned for supporting the right of people in eastern Ukraine for not wishing to be part of the state banning their language and doing g pogroms not just against Russians bot Jews and Roma people for 12 years prior to the Russian intervention.

Tanuki was banned just for posting a video of civilians being kidnapped off the street to be forced into a war they know is a lost cause.

If this is what you call Anarchism I am ashamed of you.

    Someone who equates freedom with a lack of government is not in any position to judge the intelligence of others.

    As for pronouns, now I know you’re just bad faith trolling. I am a nonbinary person, and I do respect people’s pronouns, even when they are people who are unwitting apologists for fascists. The trans/nonbinary community consensus draws a clear line between pronouns and self-referential speech patterns, and it is bad faith trolls (trying to use our respect for pronouns against us) who conflate the two. Pronouns are a linguistic stand-in for a person’s name when you’re not directly addressing them. Pronouns are not a title, they’re not a mark of respect on that person (even though pronouns should be respected). Referring to yourself in the third person is a speech pattern, not a pronoun. As many other trans and nonbinary people have said, self-referring in third person is a stylistic choice about how someone talks about themselves, not a request about how others should refer to them. So who is badjacketing who here?

    Also it is typical trolling behavior to completely derail a thread with a tangential (bad faith) accusation, especially when they know they have no counter arguments in the actual discussion.

      … exactly what do you think it is that anarchists believe?

      moth would argue with you, but moth doubts you will be around long enough to make it worthwhile, having said something so anathema to the ideals of this instance.
