Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

I'm not an anarchist, something that was obvious from how I spoke about them like an outsider, but this is such a disingenuous comment I'm gonna ignore that bit.
You do not care about reality – this is made obvious from your belief that property laws are some sort of sane and natural order, instead of being hackneyed together by generations of rich landowners with their own short-sighted, trite, and nonsensical goals. The violence committed by these freaks for more oil or sharecropping land or some other garbage is actually the opposite of normal humanity, unless you live somewhere where your neighbors shoot each other because they were bored and wanted a second house.
You see, within civilization, humans generally share spaces. There are no borders in the household or passport stations in the farmers' market. Anarchism is the belief that this can be expanded all the way to the international level; the comparatively simpler idea expressed by this celebrity is that there shouldn't be a military dedicated to attacking random people who are just trying to live in society because they're "illegal", especially considering this society is already built on attacking random people and the attackers, by their own definitions, are actually already here illegally. The fact that this simple slogan pisses you off is a genuinely fascinating concept and makes me think you aren't too happy to abide by the social contract.
I'm sure there are folks who consider themselves anarchists but haven't actually considered the philosophy in a functioning form once state and property is abolished. I'm not trying to be rude, I just mostly see anarchism talked about in the context of attempting to exist within this society. I don't think it would be so simple, for anarchism to exist even though one generation there would have to be constant adjustments and decisions and established norms and practices that allow society to move forward. I don't mean to say that it isn't worth doing, I think it could eventually be a better world but it would be generations from now and even then there will still be the need to protect and keep society healthy, like an ecosystem there needs to be some oversight in place for the habitat and members of it to all exist in some equilibrium, not everyone is going to agree on things all the time.
Yeah I fully agree with this, I just got heated because the other guy seemed to imply that anarchism was inherently doomed because humanity is naturally violent or whatever, it's a horribly nihilistic worldview.
Yeah TubularTittyFrog is a pretty notorious misanthrope on this site.
You believing in anarchism isn't doing anything to change the laws that govern your physical and legal body.
But please lecture me about how nothing exists other than the ideal utopia inside your head and anyone who thinks your imaginary world instead your head is the 'real' one and the external one with property laws, borders, and real human beings is 'fake'.
