  • I don’t consider it possible for any anarchists to be heroes. They are just people who say message. This is the reason I like V. They even say who I am isn’t important, just a person in a mask, not to hide their identity but to erase it.
    Two cells from V for vendetta. V Says "Did you think to kill me? there's no flesh or blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an Idea. Ideas are bulletproof. Farewell."

    This is the same reason I still like listening to anti-flag. The message behind the songs remains the same no matter how horrible the person singing them is, although I anyone wants to make a cover version I would probably like that more.

    With media you could go even further and put a sarcastic twist on a message and make it mean the complete opposite of what the artist intended.






  • Thanks! That’s exactly the answer I was looking for.

    The premature optimisation quote at the end of your blog post is very relevant to me. I try do find the most efficient way right off the bat so very frequently the first questions I have in a project are like this one. Which in turn lead me to understand the underlying basics, which make me want to implement those basics myself, which sends me down a spiral to wanting to write my own kernel. All the while the project I started with gets forgotten, until I pick it up a month later and the whole thing starts again.

    Maybe I should just try and learn C… or zig. And try and hold myself to the higher quality standard they demand. Especially since it feels like I’m doing that already.




  • The quote is in the context of socialist/anarchist ideas. If you are referring to the USian right then they are doing it because they are fascist who want to remain in power. and they’ve been making voting harder for a long time now in order to disenfranchise voters and get in power. From my anarchist point of view both neo-liberal democracy and fascism are the status-quo.


  • I know. I deliberately chose to use a different scale for the word to make a point. By that I mean reformist/traditionalist instead of reformist/revolutionary. Using reformist for anyone who wants to change(reform) society.

    I do this quite a lot. deliberately misinterpret the point to point out the fuzziness of terms. I should probably remember to point that out whenever I do it.
