I have recently found myself in debates about the fedipact and corporate influence. The fact that fedipact exists and I had the counter arguments and participants handy, was great. But there is more evil out there, mostly hierarchical thinking (up to speciecism imo) which leads to consumerism, destruction of our climate and more.
Imo, the rise of corporate control and surveilance (-capitalism) gives both power to autocracy (bc corporations are autocracies which influence people around them into thinking its fine) and facilitates loss of empathy for fellow humans and other living creatures.
So I began searching if there is a movement which is just anti corporate. The only one I found was occupy but it hasnt made any news for years. No big deal I thought since it has been around since 1920 so it might come back.
The wikipedia article shows occupy as having no hierarchical structure so it reminded me of anarchism in a way. Since my last post over in .ml was deleted by a mod, I hope I have shown why this is in fact an anarchism topic.
Feel free to disagree or elaborate, I’m here to learn.
Thanks for reading and have a good one.
This was about a totally different question weeks ago that had literally nothing to do with Anarchism and would have better fit into the /c/showerthoughts community. And besides, it wasn’t even deleted but just locked, see: https://lemmy.ml/post/12525634
I misunderstood which post you referred to.
In the post you locked a few weeks ago, haui explicitly asked to be told if it is the wrong place to post his question and not shut him down. You went and shut him down immediately, telling him „c/showerthoughts“ would be the more appropriate place even though a high number of upvotes clearly indicated he was indeed correct in posting the question here. Also, haui didn’t get the chance to reply to this comment of yours because you disabled that as well and now you’re coming back at him for no reason with this kind of attitude which by the way breaks the first rule of this place („dont be shitty“) as well as your comment on his old post broke the rule nr 1 (be respectful) of your community.
Sorry, but you are missing the context of /c/anarchism@lemmy.ml being intentionally strongly moderated because of previous brigading of all sorts of trolls. And these kind of conspiracy thinking posts get a lot of up-votes on lemmy.ml all the time, that is part of the problem with that instance.
And last but not least, I wasn’t being shitty. I answered their question and advised them to read up on it a bit more as it is hard to miss that the Occupy movement was mainly driven by Anarchists. The most prominent face of it that is mentioned everywhere, the late David Graeber, is probably one of the most well known contemporary Anarchists. If that is what you consider “gatekeeping” then sorry but you are being silly.
P.S.: Your post history makes it pretty clear that this is a sockpuppet account of haui, so please be honest here and argue with your main account and don’t vote brigade and concern-troll with sockpuppet accounts.
