    A call for human rights that can’t be taken away by the first idiot is not anarchism, it’s the most basic common sense and logic upon which a good society should be built.

    Rights don’t exist.

    Violence exists, and it’s all that humans understand.

    So if you want to pretend you have rights you need to be ready to use violence to defend that belief.

    George Carlin said it, and it’s true. Rights don’t exist. We’ve gotten to the level where things that used to seem protected are now violated, and pointing to the laws that say they are rights doesn’t do anything. Once checks and balances disappeared, the ones in control could do whatever they want, especially when everyone else is still trying to use the rules that aren’t being acknowledged or enforced to “fight” back.

    They don’t have a “good” president, only “less evil”.

    They don’t mind if the “less” turns right every day, and it’s so bad they’ll accept someone who’ll bomb and invade some other country again if they could go back to how things were, which is getting away with abhorent shit abroad and claiming to be the ‘greatest country’ ever.

    This take isn’t even controversial, it’s just true. Same with the privileges temporarily given by the supreme court, same when they called people “essential workers” when they meant “expendable human capital”.

      the controversial part is the OP calling this anarchist. anarchists advocate for rights that arise from mutual respect and social cooperation.
