Stuff like this is completely exhausting and helps no one. Why do you do this?

Jesus Christ, there's a shelter you could work at instead of posting. Stop coming online and riling people up for no goddamn reason. Do you just want people to be pissed off at you? Is that your thing? Fuck all of this infighting nonsense, get to work. When you feel that twinge of being sectarian, or that desire to get mad online, just go outside and hand out food. Go work with people in real life for once and you'll find those stark divisions you believe exist will start to melt away if you're doing things right. I've been working with leftist organizations for 15 years now and only experienced an ideological split like one time and it was smoothed over in 15 minutes. It doesn't matter, no one cares. Go do real world things.

Love Anarchist philosophy, I think it's literally radical as hell, but holy shit Anarchists are just as whiny as Tankies sometimes.

Rather than posting infighting memes or debating online, try to educate and learn more yourself, build up your community, actually do something. These memes are just cringe.

That's the funny thing to me about commies or anarchists arguing with each other online, I feel like most serious people in both groups don't even bother with that bs, and work together IRL at actions without thinking about it.

Yes, it's either the terminally online, or the people that have managed to actually make it far enough that it even matters. In the west, it absolutely doesn't matter, except perhaps in revolutionary strategy, ie Anarcho-Syndicalism vs Vanguardism vs etc.

Day to day, the same exact praxis persists: educate yourself, improve your life and understanding, advocate for positive change, unionize, build up your community, and educate others. It doesn't matter what leftist tendency you personally prefer, the praxis on a day to day level is the same.
