PDD isn't exactly an activist group or John Lennon, so I seriously doubt it. Don't confuse the heavily indoctrinated posters who're intelligent enough to know better for agents, they're just propagating that which makes them feel comfortable with what they're used to... status quo. People don't want to rock the boat; that doesn't make them agents, just scared and insecure.

Somehow you always feel obligated to respond to post that never mention your name, who's insecure now?

so, what would be the difference between someone that just disagrees with the sentiments your espousing and someone that is made to feel uncomfortable by the non status quo. and how would someone like your good self be able to tell the difference between the two? |
First of all, I'm not "good" by any means; I frankly don't like a lot about myself, which makes me a lot more secure that most people because I don't bullshit myself 24-7 about my own self worth. When you're in denial, you're insecure. When you're not in denial, you have hope, ironically.

or is anyone that disagrees with your extremist, utopian anarchism automatically someone that is too scared and insecure? |
No, there's plenty of people who're not anarchists and are also not consumed with fear or insecurity. Second, the Spanish Revolution is a real demonstration of what you call a utopian idea (Utopia == fiction).

Exactly. People who fear the "big bad government" are the ones who advocate one of their own to protect them from another one. Anarchist are not paranoid and don't advocate a large coercive institution like the state, they are not scared and are secure.

well, i think youre good. as in a good person. bright, and you care a lot about things. i certainly dont think youre a bad person just coz we happen to disagree about just about everything.

so, i would be interested to see which posts/posters you believe are consumed by fear/insecurity, and how you can tell that in an argument concerning politics?

and how did it end? the same way bolshevism did. with the overthrow of the principle ideals by a fascist, and persecution of all enemies of the invigorated state. only to return to capitalism much later.

But it doesn't matter if they have no actual skill or insights of their own because for them it's simply about disrupting what would otherwise be rational discourse which often delves into topics that they don't want people talking about.
