    “I tried nothing and it didn’t work” isn’t a strategy that works for me.

    I’m not going to sit on my butt and complain into the void. I will do everything I can to get to where I want the world to where I hope it can go.

    Organizing is not in conflict with anarchism.

    Pretending the system doesn’t exist or that not participating in any way will change it is a fool’s errand.

    Feel free to find another way to participate, but trying to push others to not do what they can, to me, is (at best) an effort to continue the downward trend.

      This is absurd. Electoral organizing isn’t the only kind of organizing. Organizing outside of electoral campaigns is not doing nothing. Telling people the only way to organize or do anything to influence politics is through election campaigns is absolutely in conflict with anarchism.

        Who said it was?

        You’re coming to absolutely ridiculous conclusions based on fabrications of what I said.

        Feel free to point to where I said any of that.

        I’ll wait.

      This is literally what you’re doing, right now.
