The Anarchists, filmed over six years by Todd Schramke, isn’t about the philosophy of anarchism at large at all, which is opposed to all hierarchical structures and thus, according to many, inherently anti-capitalist.

Rothbardites.

It’s a fairly decent documentary (only one episode so far) as far as TV goes these days, but it’s a slow burn.

Propertarians has been used to describe them by anarchists and libertarian socialists. I’d say it is accurate, as the only rights they care about are property rights.

And it covers most of the other invented/stolen labels like libertarians and classical liberals.

Yeah, cringey ain’t even adequate.

Their attitudes though come through clearly and there’s definitely some of that recognizably here in ATX.

One self-identified anarchist I know (or knew, we don’t hang out now thank you) ping-ponged between San Fransisco and Austin, churning credit cards, living with his mom (ATX) or girlfriends (SFCA) who facilitated all his financial entities by providing her / their normal typical conventional personal info so he could be a Sovereign Citizen or whatever. He claimed he fully intended to default on all his debt because ā€œthat’ll show 'emā€ or words to that effect.

Grown ass man. Maybe 35 years old.
A friend was dating him, and I was hoping she’d come to her senses (she later did).

Your gif is entirely apropos.

Wait… I thought that the left (and this BBS in particular) was the REAL echo chamber dedicated to group think? /s

I suppose as a still semi-free semi-autonomous human, I’m still up for picking my echo chambers, my rabbit holes, my bubbles, my overlapping pancakes of Venn diagrams and snark.

Ducks, man, they just work you.

Swans are worse and there are some at the Austin downtown lake (Ladybird Lake) that are merciless brutes. Look out!

On our street, we have two ponds that has some swans. The first mated pair included a very aggressive male. He kept attacking cars… after they got a couple of hatchlings, something happened to him (I’m guess someone accidentally hit him or the neighbor did something about him?), because now it’s just the mother and two (now grown) offspring…
