And I’m genuinely hurt by this.

Someone in a tiktok comment section was talking about anarchists hiding cultural-conservatives but because tiktok comments are limited I didn’t really understand what they were talking about so I asked if there was a book or article I could read to learn more about this particular event. They then stated “do anarchist sock puppets read books now?” And I feel like shit. I don’t know what I said to provoke this hostility.

I know I’m overly sensitive but I actually am tearing up because of this. I hate the thought of being perceived as an enemy. I don’t know what to say to let them know I’m not a sock puppet…

Their comments mentioned something about the Chinese communists and the IWW.

The IWW is Industrial Workers of the World and is a all-workers union which was extremely influential in the expansion of the union movement in the USA. It’s become far less important and lost many in recent years but was, in the past, a huge player in the unions. I know it used to be the largest in the world but i don’t know about anymore
