This quoted post actually hits the reason I'm no longer an #anarchist.
npub1uu00wzqfglu3cjj5a7m8gcdm4qrd5cvdmez5adm7ndq70p4079pqe5hnds (npub1uu0…hnds) cites a"potential for people to band together and help each other." And they are absolutely right. This is a necessary condition for #anarchism. We're a social species. It can't work any other way.
My problem is that I no longer believe in that potential. I accept that it existed once upon a time. But it is not within my nearly 65 years of existence on this planet and I no longer believe it exists. There is more--and better--evidence for the existence of a deity than there is of human kindness.
