        I’m sure you’d agree that anarco syndicalism is a strategy unfamiliar to most people around the world. I’m sure you read the news often enough to know that people don’t know how their own system works, let alone one as exotic as anarcocynicalism.

        So instead of crossing your arms and demanding to know why somebody doesn’t know this, you could instead educate them. Provide a link. Give an explanation. Help that person bridge the gap between what they know (for example, I used the word anarchy in my response, so you can safely assume that I’m familiar with that term) and what you know.

        This helps people move towards your goal, because now they have tools to begin doing the work.

        Or you can stand there, cross because people don’t understand, and you’ve done nothing to educate them, with no forward motion and just a series of complaints. It’s up to you. I wish you the best of luck making your choice.

        Very good clarifying follow up! The information you provided is really useful, especially considering a discussion is about a lack of information. Thanks for your input! Twice, by the way.

          ahhh one of those “why did you invest low effort in responding to my low effort trolling” folks. It’s not my job to educate everyone arguing in bad faith (or in blatantly incoherent ways if not in bad faith) about the thing they claim to know about. if you want that i recommend putting in the effort to be less entirely hostile to someone who gave you a pretty matter of fact rebuttal to your very low effort concern trolling. Otherwise, ask some questions. actually engage. eduction is a two way street but your side of it appears to be blockaded and actively hostile.

          also like, at least skim a wikipedia page or something?

            I’m not trolling and I won’t allow you to suggest that I am. Your failure to understand what I meant doesn’t mean my efforts were deliberately obtuse; it means you failed to find understanding.

            And I didn’t say you’re required to educate anyone. I said that if you want valuable discussion, changed opinions, or growth of any kind, you need to do the work to get there. You haven’t done anything but make noise.
