    While reading the A.1 chapter, the FAQ frequently reminds me of very strange human behaviour that I can observe in everyday life - strong rejection of opinions that doesn’t come from big sources.

    And when a result of (mentioned itself) way of education, it struck me very hard especially in section A.1.3. Why there? Because it reminds me of never ending wave of arguments from my friends, who did not asked me questions, but assumed what I think, but in reality they projected their own education an way of thinking (about anarchism) on me. And they didn’t want to listen.

    EDIT: I forgot about conclusion of my own though - Well. I do not know how to overcome this echochamber while talking to people. Most of the time I just decide not to waste my own time for such discussions, because it looks more like monologue in which I am not welcome.

    I could once again, mention the argument on the fediverse phenomenon - while people preffer to use enshittified software made by corps, than to try something new- but I am not in a mood for this. 🤓

      Yeah, like, it’s opinions, why not believe an anarchist about what they define as anarchism when they not only advocate for it, but also practice it. Why would they create a false theory and spend their lives fighting for it, lol.

      If practically all anarchists agree with the core part of afaq then it probably defines anarchism well, lol.

      About the last part, true, on the one hand I’d like to just not bother and look after for what I care, but this may lead to isolation from the rest of the people which is not helpful if I want to see it grow, ugh
