Every single day, I realise that anarchists in Europe suck ass even more than any other region. And that's because too many of them want the aesthetics but think they're too edgy to call themselves what they really are: useless liberals.

Anarchism has values and beliefs, even if we're not all the same. It never includes capitalism, hierarchies, or oppression. It doesn't enable abuse or support bigotry. Anyone propping up their love for any of that via the path of anarchism is not an anarchist; that's simple.

They're using the aesthetics. They're pretending.

But anarchists in Europe? Patriarchal as shit. Nationalist as shit. Racist as shit. Queerphobic as shit. Colonialist and imperialist as shit. They never even explore their own values, and they never question what they've grown up learning. They just slap the word 'anarchist' on their views and go about as usual.
