Anarchist mobster here, I think people just don't like roving surveillance wagons.

Also, actual anarchists are not going to vandalize bikes and public transit. It's kind of important that we be somewhat precise about our terminology as otherwise you just stoke political division to no real end.

An anarchist complaining about somebody “stoking political division to no real end” is certainly some kind of irony isn’t it?

What do you think anarchist means?

I don't want to get into a political argument, man. I think most anarchists can't really agree on what a definition is. It's unfalsifiable.

Just go read some stuff I guess. Everyone thinks it's accelerationism and while there are extremists who inhabit both camps, like every other ideology, it's mostly just a community focused reduction in authoritarian power structures thing.

As I said elsewhere, there are actual agreed upon definitions for this stuff. Careful not to go too far into the "everything is unknowable" hole.

I'm also an anarchist. I guarantee that the person above me and I disagree about some political things. But also, I guarantee we do agree about a lot of the foundational thought and theory. Things like mutual aid, the right to self determination, local communities knowing what their communities need, and more.

Anarchist theory has a ton of practical and academic work over the past few centuries. It's not "the purge", it's a pretty well defined set of principles centered around building a society that primarily focuses on well being for all.

It means there is no higher authority to appeal to in a disagreement.

Then why say anything in the first place because facts don't matter and everything is unknowable?

Eh, whatever.
