Unfortunately, it's just another in a long line of people who completely misunderstand anarchist theory and instead argue with a figment of their own imagination, based on years of propaganda.

On one hand, I should have more patience to educate people like that citing books and real-life examples. On the other hand, after a post's been up for nearly a day, I get fucking exhausted with explaining to yet another person why they are completely off base. I come online to escape the people like that who I'm surrounded by in my backwards-ass red state. If they're really interested in knowing why they're wrong, they can reference my other comments. But I don't have time for them.

That's your opinion, and that's all addressed by anarchist theory. It seems to me you're just shooting from the hip and parroting anti-anarchist propaganda you've been fed all of your life.

Edit: Blocked because "anarchism is incompatible with anarchism" is some of the most utterly baffling pseudo-intellectual horseshit it's been my displeasure to read. I need to wash my eyes after seeing those words on the screen.

Everyone's a nerd about something. What are you a nerd about?

I'm a bit of a nerd about longboarding and also building Commander decks in Magic the Gathering.

I wouldn't say I'm an expert in either case, but I'm really interested in trying different setups and also seeing people discuss their own experiences and builds.

Yeah, I think that's fine, but some people get super direct or almost aggressive about it. Asking for more details is fine, but often the OP doesn't have additional details, and people need to be willing to accept that. For instance, this situation sounds a lot like a general observation and not something that's unique to one particular set of circumstances. It's also something I've experienced, so I guess for me, I understand what he's talking about exactly.

Some people also don't read the other comments in a thread before posting theirs -- a lot of people -- and then it gets super exhausting as the OP to have to respond to each demand for context individually, when they've already responded to someone else. I feel like I still have trauma from the time I made a post on reddit that accidentally depicted someone from Australia instead of the US, and I must have had like 50 comments telling me, even though I'd already responded to the first person who told me by admitting my mistake and apologizing for the mixup.

But I got a bit sidetracked there. What I mean is, something like "Does this happen in any specific place or circumstance?" is reasonable and non-confrontative. Saying, "There must be more to the story that you're not telling us" is unreasonably rude and aggressive. It's really unkind to make veiled accusations against someone, unfounded and unprovoked -- especially in a community that's expressly about sharing unpopular opinions! Like, wouldn't you want more people to share their unpopular opinions? That seems like the whole point!

I'm in an American midwestern small town, and people do the same thing here. The more rural the community, the worse it gets.

I'm not sure people here even realize they're staring -- they're just not very good at interacting with people who aren't the few individuals they see every day.

I feel like he made it clear in his post:

there are some adults that will just look and look and look at you when you enter a room

These people are just starting unprovoked. He doesn't say that everyone does this, everywhere he goes. He says that some adults will stare at you.

And guess what? I've totally experienced this. Personally, I think part of it for me is living in a small-ish town, but still, it's unprovoked behavior.

Even if you're walking into lectures, it's still not good form for people to stare, and the farting is something you've totally conjured out of thin air. None of these details were in OP's post. We don't need more details. When he uses the word "just," that implies this is simple unprovoked behavior.

The idea that "further context is warranted" is absurd. The OP has already made clear in another comment that there is no further context.

Edit: Okay, I'm exhausted now lol. Good luck out there, OP!

I'd feel like that would be crossing a line that I've made for myself. In theory, I'm not opposed, but I feel like the stakes would be much higher once it involves circumventing a lock.
