Anarchism hot take
I'm not an anarchist; anarchism almost certainly leads to despotism without mutual trust. I just have no faith that any non-hyper-local government won't try to pass propriety laws I won't or can't obey. I'm really a revolutionary parpolitic mutual socialist, but "revolution" has violent connotations I disavow. I support antifa and self-defense, but not initiatory force, even against the state. My revolution rejects the national meta-narrative and social norms that I find toxic.

All this said, I accept that in many places, state violence demands a response, and that getting the masses to agree the existing government is evil is far easier than getting them to agree on what would be good. I also have no desire to make common cause with people who don't recognize me as human or respect the life I choose to live. As an autistic queer trans pan poly psychedelic mage, I assume I have fewer peers than most, and that informs my rejection of most governments.
