    I’m confident a civilian as yourself read every single law you are beholden to, and comply with the arbitrary judgements made in behalf of those laws, that nobody would make a profession out of that simply to exploit your ignorance, no? I simply can’t fathom an entire industry created in the exploitation of ignorantia juris non excusat. Wouldn’t that be, a bit much?

    Anarchy is not the only political ideology, so in theory that would mean that I would need to read all the articles from all those ideologies to make an informed decision.

    Sure! That seems absolutely reasonable. How familiar are you with European colonialism, and that of the US?

    Take your time. I’m sure there are mentors, counselors, and teacher that can help you process centuries of information into condense forms of historical contexts you can summarize details for. There’s even lemmy communities for that too!

      Well now I’m confused. You just told me I should read all the papers in the anarchist library. Was that meant sarcastically?

        I was told statist literacy dropped recently, I’m hopeful you’re not a victim.

        Do you know all the laws and actions of the state you reside, or do you like being exploited by your oppressors?

          You are being really condescending for no reason. If you don’t want to talk with me, just don’t.

          Now, you said this:

          All of it. Until you fully comprehend that when everyone’s equipped with anti-oppression tools, nobody can, or should be oppressed.

          After which I said I found it a bit much to read all that. After that you start rambling about me also not reading all the laws and actions of the state. Yes, that’s my point, I think, in both cases, it’s a bit much to ask me to read every single document ever generated about a certain topic.

          And for full disclosure, I am not a native english speaker, so yes, sometimes I do make mistakes.

            So when you projected the problems with European colonialism in shifting goals of true freedoms for all, that was wasn’t condescension on your part, just cognitive dissonance on your part.

            Yes, that’s my point, I think, in both cases, it’s a bit much to ask me to read every single document ever generated about a certain topic.

            Then we agree, that imprisonment in ignorance of the law shouldn’t be oppressed, and should be abolished until everyone can learn the rules everyone abides by, no? Because the point of anarchism is that everyone should have access to literature, and be able to comprehend the rules one abides by, without being exploited. You can’t really do that in European countries that still disallow library access and literacy exclusivities.

            Same here! I learned English to read American and European comics & cartoons, but I try not to be ignorant on who oppresses my rights to read queer books, transexual medicine, and indigenous rights! This is why I do not bloodwash European Imperials still stealing resources from others that should benefit them first, then others. Slavery should have never existed, but Europe still enslaves!

              Where did I mention European colonialism? I just said I thought that anarchy is also a very flawed system. I don’t see how that could be considered condescending.

              I indeed do think that information should be freely available. I just don’t see how the existence of a state is incompatible with information being freely available or how anarchy would lead to information being freely available.

              Also, I don’t believe I am willfully ignorant. I just haven’t been exposed to anarchy that much, so I am genuinely interested to learn about it.
