Yeah. I never understood the anarchy thing. Every definition of anarchy that I’ve come across, which admittedly is not all of them, just seems to boil down to “people will do the right thing”. But they don’t. And they also ignore the fact that people outside the group will band together and do the wrong thing and take over your group.
@surewhynotlem@DisgruntledGorillaGang the education that was eroded as planned by conservatives. Its the easiest thing. Brainwash the public, and make sure that actual smart people are mocked and ignored. Then bring in more putrid trash like fox news to solidify false beliefs. Sprinkle on some llm slop disinformation . and you have fascism.
