"senator i'd like to hang out with" is a very high bar. brown and warnock seem like genuinely nice people. kelly would at least be entertaining with astronaut stories. booker could get you into some hollywood parties but is way too much of a tryhard to be around. tuberville probably throws a good dumb guy party.

grassley would be good to go to dairy queen with for "u kno what"

i've been to BBQs with bernie and he makes it very clear that he does not enjoy being there

there are anarchists who want to organize a local food pantry and then there are the ones who find ways to justify western military intervention because they have an incredibly rear end backwards view of geopolitics and/or are paid by the united states government

Most of the obnoxious crypto-imperialist anarchists I've met didn't find their way there by principle so much as contrarianism. They've butted heads with every peer they've ever had and when their peers start saying "hands off China/Cuba/Bolivia/etc" they need to manufacture a way to disagree that still flatters their self-image - it's not that you fell for propaganda, those governments are authoritarian and need to be liberated.

That is not to conflate these people with anarchists that have principled disagreements with authleft/ML positions, many of whom I know to be good comrades. but you'll know exactly which kind of anarchist you're getting within seconds of any foreign policy discussion.

Makhno was pretty good iirc? Kicked out antisemitic people, fought the white army, tried to do ancom poo poo. I haven't read any of his theory or whatever and I know more about post war Russia but he looked like the best power in Ukraine

dude had a kind word to say about Nestor Makhno of all loving people

It's really funny how growing up andc leaving left you get all this stuff about brave anarchists betrayed by perfidious Soviets. Hell I used to have a positive opinion of Makhno because for years you got drilled into you that he represented both something less authoritarian than Soviet rule and an independent path for ethnic minority that had been abused by the Russian empire and would be abused by the Soviets.

Eventually I realized every Western anarchist cause celebre was utterly defeated by more organized groups and I started to wonder why lift up people who got their rear end kicked by people with their poo poo together shy would I want to emulate that

because there are leftists with a lot less information and context than me, and they should be warned or at least informed that someone is a fed- because it doesnt exactly say so on the label. i dont think a lot of people were aware of robert evans’ pro-intervention positions until it was pointed out, and pro-intervention anarchists should absolutely be hounded and made fun of, especially on cspam if they post on this very website

yeah the left is full of stupid people but give them time and they will own themselves thoroughly and consistently

it is funny when people who were pro bernie during the campaign are now like “gently caress I can’t anybody fell for it!!! BERNIE PANDERS!!!” as if to support a political candidate for office you had to be a diehard true believer, and nobody anywhere was just like “yeah this guy has a lifetime history of supporting good policies, in fact, he’s the only guy advocating for any of this positive poo poo, at any level of government or position of power, I think I will throw my lot in with that instead of the ‘nothing will change or get better’ candidates”

but then bernie did the pandemic and rigged the primary against himself, how could we be so fooled??

more that browbeating people away from something they’ve taken interest in has the inverse effect and draws more attention to the (lack of) credibility of the person doing the disavowal. “why should I listen to the person who thinks my brain is a dumb, easily convinced lump of clay that isn’t yet moulded properly instead of my friend robert evans”
