#Antifa: * kills people *
#GeorgeSoros: You winning, son?
@jojo yes
@jojo You're right tho
Really only people who are not thinking would believe that anarchy leads to a good society or has any chance of success
@realcaseyrollins @jojo I’d stand to disagree with your definition of ‘anarchy’ if you think it requires violence. I’m not disagreeing with your assessments of antifa; but anarchy has a far richer philosophical history than the violent idiots that claim anarchy before killing a President.
@realcaseyrollins @jojo No, power struggles breed violence. Power vacuums inunciate that greatly. But the absence of power alone is not enough to create those circumstances. But you ignore that every action taken by Antifa and by those using BLM to selfish needs are doing so under an authority — much in the same way Sunni jihadis kill Shia families, for the glory of their understanding of Allah.
Would you describe Iran and Saudi Arabia as anarchy?
@realcaseyrollins @jojo No, you study Emma Goldman instead of looking down on someone who is trying to give you a different perspective.
@realcaseyrollins @jojo I mean, seriously. Was that necessary, to insult my intelligence? Do you think I’m not paying attention? Do you think I’m an idiot? Because you certainly don’t have any interest in having a deeper understanding of the philosophies you’re out to discredit in a video.
@sev @jojo Right! Well my point is it started out as anarchy, but people like Raz came in with guns and started bossing everyone around. And there was no governing authority or cooperative force to stop him. Point being, true anarchy leads to a power vacuum which is quickly filled by violent parties.
But perhaps I'm wrong about this.
@realcaseyrollins @jojo My only disagreement would be that the governing authorities did exist, in the form of the Mayor and Governor, but they chose not to act specifically for reasons of maintaining their power within the sect that agrees with the insurgents.
@realcaseyrollins @jojo I don’t think it does anyone any good to encourage the delusions these people have that CHOPAZZLE was somehow a separate country for a few weeks, or indulging them in their fantasies of violent anarchy. They like to take words and change their meanings, in order to justify themselves — my dog in this fight is I’d rather well-intentioned people didn’t aid them in that.
@realcaseyrollins @jojo I would say some of the individuals were anarchist, in a manner similar to anarcho-Christian practices, but many of them seemed to be insurgents with no declared political preference, yet the weapons to enforce the leadership of their chosen leader (Raz in some cases, the heavyset motherly nurse in other cases, and I think there was a third.) But even if their principles were anarchist, the CHOPAZZLE itself remained dependent on its enclaving city the entire time.
I was homeless in Seattle for a few years. Slept rough until they convinced me to accept housing, just 8 blocks south of where the CHAZ took place. I knew that area well, very very well. Aside from the barricades and an increase in graffiti, I don’t think CHAZ changed the politics of Capitol Hill at all — when it became CHOPAZZLE, they kept on doing things by-committee and adapting as new complaints arrived, even if it inhibited their ability to continue helping everyone.
