/anarchism/ - Anarchist Debate

I heartily thank you for your application and for your multiple contributions. However, this political board has such a sparse and random population that volunteers are not needed at this point.

You raise a very interesting point, and one I've personally thought a lot about.

I'm not sure what gender I identify with yet, I'm still working that out. However I often feel dysphoria, which is a common trait among trans individuals. I was assigned male at birth, but I don't feel comfortable with the way people interact with me when I present as male. I believe it's somewhat a misconception that trans people feel like a woman in a man's body or vice versa, as I and many other trans people I know well don't feel that way.

HOWEVER having said that, you're definitely right about the operations etc. Resources should be prioritized to people that need them for deformations and life threatening illnesses. (Although debatably, denying a trans individual a means to accept themselves and connect with their outward image/experiences can be fatal, in many cases)

As I said earlier, I believe the real problem many people face isn't being trapped in the wrong body, but being trapped in other peoples preconceptions of them, which have been built up by capitalist money-making schemes, the patriarchy, and consumerism, which I suppose is sort of what you're picking up on here? Without capitalism etc there would be no need to transition, as gender would have much less strict roles and possibly more expressive than what we're currently allowed. However I suppose that's part of another debate.

One way of fixing these said preconceptions is, like you addressed, transitional surgeries etc. which is again like you said; expensive and complicated.

Another more radical way that may require more brain power and a little thought, is breaking down the very ideas of gender and sex. What is gender? The bits you have in your pants? Whether or not you wear makeup? Who you fuck? The line is at first sharp and hard, but the more you think about it, the more it blurs. (For me at least, I'm unsure if others feel the same around here)

Maybe the way forward here isn't so much telling trans people that they're special snowflakes, but instead recognizing that there are many individuals of many different backgrounds who feel this way, and maybe it's not the people but the boxes they are forced into that's not right?

it is individualistic self-fulfillment, not decadence

im completly ok with people wasting their own resources on whatever strange purpose they want, i like diversity

>>174

what is the name of this kind of memes?

Are there no mods or admins or anything here?

>>150

am i doing anything wrong? op here

ps. this meme aims to make fun of anti-semites

>>153

that is in no way obvious.

it just looks like stormfaggotry

it disapperd

>>144

why?

>>143

Here's what I found.

http://anarchistnews.org/content/anokchan-no-more

>In case anyone wanted to be made aware, AnokChan is no more. Interest was low, though still somewhat steady off and on for the past couple years.

>AnokChan was started over 5 years ago in response to the ending of images in comments on Anarchist News as a way to give the trolls a sandbox to play in. The experiment had a peak probably in 2013 around the 3 year mark and expanded into making a wiki that covered memes from an anarchist troll's perspective.

>Some images were rather high quality, while many others not so much, but most were still funny or on point. A lot of essays were written with an experimental edge, some of which probably could've been cleaned up and published at least here, but most weren't.

>There were quite a few good games we'd play and when Anarchist News was down for some odd reason, we'd sometimes bullshit while we waited for the site to come back up.

>It was some good times. If it had picked up just a few more regulars, we probably would've found a way to revamp it, but it had run its course.

>Thanks all for participating.

Good times.

I did. It's somewhat surprising that you would imagine a repetitive red line which crosses and reaches through multiple threads and posts would remain. This isn't /b/, anon.

Debate, discussion and educational agitation. Those are my methods of engaging anarchist discourse.

I would consider myself an anarchistic postmodern synthesist, as I believe that fluidity and pluralism are auxiliaries which effectively manifest the ever-shifting heterogeneous movements concerned with, of, and for independence. I firmly do not believe any singular modus operandi of anarchist ethics or politics necessarily leads towards an anarchistic society, especially given the nature of individual unionization. Instead, I believe that evolving diversity is the conduit by which anarchism is most efficiently achieved and that independence is a transcendent struggle against space and meaning.

>>130

soa are you an anarcho-pluralist?

to spread my ideas i do propaganda on chans

i believe in nothing, im egoistic anarcho-nihilist but as a social system i like ancap at most

>>155

as to social system im a panarchist as well

Yeah.

She's probably high as shit. Or ineloquent and not good on the spot.

Her answer can seem stupid but in another view, "how does marching help" answered with "anarchy lives", she's saying a lot more than just the surface.

well a person who wanted to be snarky might attempt to point out that she's been allowed into that one.

but they'd be wrong

because marching down the street openly being a pack of dicks to people is something communists do

>he doesn't believe in wage slavery

what exactly do you call a relationship where one must cooperate or starve?

>>94

>oh boy here we go again

>cooperate or starve

more like find a way to get food (like growing your own) or trade some labor for some monetary compensation, your welfare is not my responsibility. I need to be concerned with my well being first.

>oh oh somebody said something so I hit to use the word anclaps in a sentence

>no you're totally wrong about the meaning of the word capitalism

1. Real actual proper ancaps are basically mutualists.

2. Most ancaps are actually randroids Lp libertarians

3. Ancaps don't exploit anyone just by being ancaps. You actually have to commit an exploitative act in order to exploit someone. You have to actually go out and oppress people in order to be an oppressor.

4. Wage slavery is such because we live in a world without many viable alternatives. But arguing over wage slavery in any hypothetical anarchist society is more than a little ridiculous

5. ">cooperate or starve

more like find a way to get food (like growing your own) or trade some labor for some monetary compensation, your welfare is not my responsibility. I need to be concerned with my well being first." This is what I'm talking about randroid LP libertarians. Because an actual ancap would have heard of the theory of the firm before and recognize that not even ancappism involves a world full of Jeremiah Johnson wannabe dipshits starving to death in the wilderness. Ancapistan isn't ancapistan without a society of ancaps capable of cooperating with each other by means of something like oh I dunno maybe a fucking free market. Which would require people to give a shit about the welfare of others believe it or not.

6. Now both of you go read a book

freedom

i do not like solidarity, egalitarism and labour movement

It is the most pure expressed form of anarchy. As a universalizing statement of liberation, the flag transcends barriers and limitations of any given historical struggle. The genealogy of the flag is one that isn't bound to time or space, and therefore aptly negates dominating objectivities.

Some interpretations insist that the flag points towards the fallen, the dying, and the struggling. As such, the flag's colors are combined with the multitude of varying situations in which anarchy exists. It holds no loyalty to any given time period, being that it is a methodological symbol that deconstructs all other totalizing symbols and points towards the timelessness of struggle itself.

As a flag of negation, trans-spatial resistance, and historical remembrance, the flag holds no exacting politicizing theories. Anyone who claims otherwise essentially states that the most undiluted expression of liberation exists solely within their theoretical paradigm. The border-less, pure black flag is a paradox of symbols, as it negates their absolutism, or purity of ideology, by being void of any expressive formation.

>>125 is right

Traditionally Anarchist were just protesters against authority without ideology backing it. It mixed with libertarian socialist movements to form various anarcho-communist ideologies.

Now Anarchism is MUCH more diverse than just protest against the state.

If you look at the sticky at the top of the board, you'll see all kinds of anarchist ideologies.

The black flag breaks the separations of ideologies. All Anarchists are united against the state and rulers. It disregards economic and social struggle highlights and focuses on the basis of Anarchism which is literally:

No Rulers

Automated structuralization by an artificial intelligence appears like a solid idea but I have certain hesitations against it.

A computer doesn't recognize the validity of human interests and the necessity of engaging morale, but that which is pre-programmed into it and catalogued as requiring. I wonder at how effective its learning processors would be, and whether or not it would be the introductory initialization of a roboticized society from a hierarchical standpoint.

most executives have your welfar and prefences at the bottom of the list of priorities

and that is only if it affects the net profit

Despite its danger, I believe in the utility of atomic and nuclear energy. Even though I think that are certainly more viable and environmentally friendly options, I think that we can redirect these options to space travel and other forms of preservation. Land energy is good, but with a few precise strikes, those foundries can be the next Chernobyl.
