   As someone raised culturally Catholic, let me tell you directly that the term "Catholic Anarchist" is an unreconcilable contradiction. Furthermore, anyone can call themselves "progressive" because it doesn't mean anything except incrementalism... this entire story is a parlor trick, and one you should not trust inherently.

     The fash calling themselves anarchists is not a new development. They know that one of the defining features of leftism and collective action is the absence of gatekeepers. You're eventually going to have to learn to judge people not by what they call themselves, but by what they do, or you'll just fall down an endless series of rabbit holes designed precisely to confuse you into supporting your own destruction. No anarchist opposes bodily autonomy. These are reactionaries; Catholic fash.

     A long time ago I warned you that the fascists have spent a very long time preparing for these moments. Studying us, looking for our weaknesses; this is one of them. Your tendency to take people at their word is what facilitates grassroots organization, collective resistance, and building the power necessary to end the fuckbarrel and liberate hellworld. But it also provides an open door for the nazis to pretend to be us, and use the confusion generated to undermine your movements.

     Trust and mutual respect is the foundation of left wing resistance to capitalism and hierarchy, but it's also our biggest vulnerability as anarchists. There is no way to have the former without the latter, so it's on you to get smarter; this trick is not, and will not be, the last card the fascists have to play by this method. Ask yourself - do they walk in sunlight? Anarchism is not something you say, it's something you live. The nazis will never help us, or be us; words are just words.

     Yeah, and it's even tax-deductible! 🥳

     "Donors Trust is a 501(c)(3) organization. As a public charity and a donor-advised fund, Donors Trust offers clients a variety of tax advantages compared to a private foundation."

     After hearing about the Atlas Network and their meddling with (among many other fascist activities) the Argentine election of a fascist, I had to check, so not only do they avoid paying taxes, they're also allowed to anonymously do harm while doing so.

     I always feel so stupid

     Trying to change that though One of my long-term strategies socially is the Muhammad Ali rope a dope

     Kind of like turn the cheek

     If you let someone take a swipe at you, at least you know they're going to swipe

     @AnarchoNinaWrites Letting them weaponise postmodernism first was a fatal mistake.
