You know, it’s like you’re walking through the forest, enjoying its beauty, and then you don’t notice how a hungry bear attacks you, even though you were warned about it.

What a shame, when the trap snaps it will be very painful…

    Correction – SLRPNK.net’s admins are all anarchists, but the server is not ‘for’ anarchists. Limiting our membership to anarchists for one means we would have to precisely define what an anarchist is, and then enforce that definition on our membership. In spaces where someone can be ejected for not being anarchist, this leads to attempts by people to censor others by trying to narrow the definition so the people they argue with fall on the wrong side of the line.

    We’re looking for people who believe in the value of scientific consensus. We’re building a community that wants society to change to better meet the challenges of resource scarcity, ecological collapse, and increasing authoritarian influence in politics. We celebrate good faith discussion, and discourage trolling and bad rhetoric. We don’t tolerate hate speech and spamming. We believe a diverse set of ideas and approaches are more likely to solve complex problems than adhering to a strict party line. As anarchists and adminstrators, we approach revolution through prefiguration, believe that means and ends are inseparable, and want our server to reflect the society of the future we’d like to live in – one where diversity of thought is foundational in finding creative answers, and people with varying goals and ideals are able to work together to solve shared problems.
