This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not to mention the obvious fact that a position of, "rule enforcer", even where necessary like like tracking down and imprisoning a murderer, needn't be a permanent role given to people that can then abuse others with that authority.
Anarchism doesn't mean zero authority. It means no unjustified authority.
Since writing that last comment I have that funny thought of a diplomacy lottery in my head where it's randomly decided who will join a trained diplomat or experts on state visits to represent the people. "... And this year... Dale will visit the environmental summit with our experts in ..." followed by an AMA where Dale can share their impressions. I'd love it ;D
"I learned that it's just a retreat for rich fucks to suck themselves off and pretend like they're saving the world while changing nothing for the better."
If no permanent rules are in place then those temporary role enforcers will just enforce whatever rules they want. Like the splicers are doing by harvesting your delicious liver.
No. They only receive the authority to do a specific thing. They go out of bounds? That's OBVIOUSLY an abuse of authority and they'll get themselves in trouble.
They receive authority from themselves or it isn't anarchy.
lol no.
