I literally just got fucking scolded and told I have some “accountability for my behavior” or whatever because I replied to someone who was insulting me, defaming my character, and lying about me with “Fuck you, you lying piece of shit.” This isn’t the first time this has happened, and it’s always in these anarchist/“radical” mutual aid groups. I was flabbergasted. It was like I was on some other planet.
I suspect this has been inherited in the left from Men’s Working Clubs and the pre-Thatcher left being all-male dirty industry like mining and ship building. The culture transitioned to many of the surviving unions instead and still stinks up the hard-left to this day.
It ironically might be better today if MORE of the left had been destroyed back then so that the culture didn’t survive.
