    Do you actually think socialists are so dumb that they never thought of these arguments?

    Based on my conversations with other self-proclaimed anarcho-communists in this very same thread, and that exchange mirroring the experience of every other anarcho-communist I’ve talked to on Lemmy apart from you, yeah, I kinda did.

    But that’s besides the point. What I want is to be left alone. I want to get on with my life without someone demanding to know whether I believe Israel should exist or not, because both sides in that conflict are committing war crimes and the idea of reading seventeen Wikipedia pages about the historical conflict of those two countries so that I can choose which side to support and more effectively defend myself in Internet arguments I never asked to have doesn’t really appeal. I want to be able to not fully commit to being vegan quite yet without someone helpfully telling me I’m a murderer. I want to look at memes without somehow getting into a discussion about economic systems. Most of all I want to be able to want that without being called a fascist.

    The ideas leftists present are good ideas. But I would like there to be a space I can go every now and again where I don’t have to think about them.

      he’s obviously trolling you.

      But that’s besides the point. What I want is to be left alone.

      then don’t post your poorly researched opinions online.

      What so you want them to lie to you so that your feelings won’t be hurt and so you can pretend you’re a perfect person?

      I eat meat, i know it’s murder, it’s completely a wrong thing that I just enjoy and do. If someone calls me a murderer for it, they’re right, but I simply move on with my day. Do you actually believe you aren’t doing anything wrong and shouldn’t be called on it when you do something wrong? You are. Accept it and move on with your life. Eating meat is unethical, everyone knows it who isn’t delusional. Everyone does unethical things, whatever. Are you really so coddled that you can’t take the fact that you’re doing something unethical when you eat meat? You are.

      I want to look at memes without somehow getting into a discussion about economic systems. Most of all I want to be able to want that without being called a fascist.

      Then don’t whine about politics in threads.

      The ideas leftists present are good ideas. But I would like there to be a space I can go every now and again where I don’t have to think about them.

      boohoo, politics encompasses everything, you’re in a thread about politics… posting about politics… the fediverse is a political idea, mozilla is a company, it’s all politics. The world doesn’t revolve around your feelings. You literally brought this on yourself, completely.
