punkisundead comments on manufacturing distraction

Hmm maybe we are just not getting each other. I feel like I precisely replied to a part of your comment, but you seem to think I really missed the point.

Black anarchism is ML praxis

To me this doesnt make sense, and from a hlance your links dont seem to be able to explain that to me. Doesnt mean its not there, just that I dont get it. I connect ML praxis with hierarchical, authoritarian and exclusionary organizing and I dont see that really reflected in your link.

e.g. Blåhaj is an ML instance, but Nexus Ancap.

I wouldnt describe those instances with those words, but I think we also just use them differently

Thoust needs more reading.
MLs are horizontal, vanguardian and inclusionary when organizing. They just are more aware some folks excel at vanguarding better than direct actors, aiders, intersecters, solidarity, etc. etc.. Not everyone is Superman, but I can definitively trust Lois Lane can get her hands on the list of the Legion of Doom’s secret addresses, or say Superboy intersecting with many people in a rally. Awareness of how people excel at other things over other things is just being aware people are different. And MLs accept those facts are real, and need to be accounted when organizing anything.

We are no longer going to talk about tankies, I pray.

I exemplified praxis over meming. The rules are in place for actual enforcements. “Influence” here meaning actually mimicking Joseph Stalin for enforcing his views over all. e.g. “I would hate to gulag you for ‘wrongthink’”

That's a poor analogy. It's a federated network. No one is "gulaged" when we ban them. They've got the rest of the threadiverse to interact with. A "gulag" analogy would be apt if we had the ability to ban transphobic accounts from the whole of the fediverse, but we don't have that power. All we can do is stop them from entering our space.

Pray all you want.
The definition of a tankie is a person that supports the idea that a country should have the right to use its military or paramilitary forces for suppressing unwanted domestic civilian activity.

If you do support tankie regimes, such as that of China or the Russia, you are a tankie.

Tankies are not okay. You see a tankie, punch him on the face. Thank you for your attention.
