    The link I originally replied to said

    Many people seem to think that anarchists are proponents of violence, chaos, and destruction … In reality, nothing could be further from the truth

    I don’t see how it’s possible to oppose the massive governments and billionaires of the world without destruction, so I wanted more information.

    If you’re out there committing various crimes to further your ideology, then that seems like you’re doing your best.

      In Nazi Germany, hiding a Jewish person was a crime punishable by death. But it was not violence, chaos, or destruction. Here in the US, there are many places where feeding a hungry person is against the law, and people have been arrested for it. Giving alms to a homeless person can get you put into prison. These are crimes, as declared by law.

      Just because something is supposedly a crime, doesn’t mean it doesn’t make the world a better place.

      Seems like a lack of imagination on your part.

      go have a 24/7 dance party around amazon’s warehouses for some inspiration.
