Nuance

queeranarchism:

When it comes to topics like revolution, anarchist education, a world without prisons, voluntary communities of consent, abolishing the whole kyriarchy,

Anarchist conversations have been going on for over a century, defining terms, debating strategies, testing and learning from praxis, passing on knowledge, reinventing our way of thinking and acting from the ground up. And those conversations are very much alive right now.

So excuse me if I’m a bit annoyed when a centrist ignores all of that and claims that their “actually, we should do less change and more status quo” without any further arguments is somehow nuanced. 

You don’t have to read a hundred years of conversations, nobody does. Anarchism isn’t about how many books you’ve read. But your claim at nuance is laughable when you are completely unfamiliar with the whole conversation. Conservatism is not nuance. You’ve never even dipped a toe into the water of this topic, what makes you think you can bring nuance here.

I’m so tired.
