If someone is debating better than you, you call them a debate pervert

It’s a shibboleth for this community. Something you use to alienate people who don’t know that, under all those layers of irony, you don’t actually want to kill white people. Also preserves the identity of the community as an edgy/crass leftist space.

Will you send me a Valentine’s even though I’m not white?

They were correct so far on the resilience of capitalism

Graeber’s rejection of the concept of the state undermines one of the basic assumptions of anarchist thought, which is anti-statism. As the reviewer says,

But this “simplistic” conception of the state is also the conception that fuels or articulates the anarchist critique of the state, from William Godwin to Mikhail Bakunin to Emma Goldman […] In late Graeber, this looks simplistic and nonempirical. “The state” is a concept that falls apart under analysis and should be abandoned. Of course, that makes anti-statism just as senseless, for what is an anti-statist fighting against, really?

Same logic applies to his rejection of egalitarianism, which is also an important aspect of anarchist thought. I think late Graeber would dismiss anarchism as based on the same flawed Enlightenment assumptions that he spends debunking in The Dawn of Everything.

I think Graeber remained a radical throughout his life, but not an anarchist in his later works. Unless you’re using a more expansive definition of anarchism?

I think this article is good. Dismissing the concept of egalitarianism and the state does seem like a move away from anarchism

I don’t understand why these outlets are giving them free publicity. Slow news week?

Trust in Institutions, Not in Political Leaders, Determines Compliance in COVID-19 Prevention Measures within Societies across the Globe

So to get them to mask up, you would have to restore their trust in public health institutions.
