  • But as an anarchist, ‘democracy’ has a number of meanings in different contexts to me.

    Do I believe a team of people with a common interest should vote on tactics and/or a spokesperson to represent themselves? Yes

    Do I believe a country of millions of completely different people should vote on whose boot they’re going to be under for the next several years? No

    My problem isn’t the choice, it’s the idea that there should be a boot in the first place, but the result is the same. I’m anti-democratic in the sense most people are talking about when they invoke democracy.



  • I managed to gain one and I have no idea whether I was misunderstood or just managed to meet the worst admin ever.

    Basically, it was the recent story about girl guides. Someone asked what the hell transphobes are thinking when pushing for stuff like this.

    My reply was ‘children are predators’. As in ascribing that thought, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, to transphobes. Banned.

    I have no idea if they thought I was seriously suggesting that trans children, or indeed any children, are predators, or if transphobes are now a protected minority. It’s the UK, it really could go either way.

    But anyway, here I am in my new non-reddit home.
