Helps them feel better than others, maybe they have low self esteem or something

I think you should start out reading some anarchist theory, like The Conquest of Bread by Kropotkin, rather than try to use it to label people evil or good.

It's not a tool to judge people's goodness or badness, even if it can be used as a guide to judge the relations between two people.

Your friends accumulation of wealth probably doesn't jive with anarchist principles for a wide variety of reasons, even if they don't exploit labor. That doesn't mean they're evil people. And just because someone exploits labor, doesn't mean they are necessarily evil.

Ahh. Well, you gave me a chuckle so thanks for that and have a great day!

:( First you're there, and then you're not.

Nah, you're right, it definitely isn't as simple as all due to the material conditions, although I do tend to think the majority of crime is due to them. At the same time, I'm not sure I'm using material conditions in the correct technical sense, and was thinking about including a , "someone feel free to correct my usage" note in my comment. I also wasnt really itching for a super in-depth conversation about it, even though your question

do you think Trump is lacking in material conditions?

is a really interesting one that I'd need to think and talk about a lot. I think if we had appropriate non coercive controls against accumulation of property, while also living in a society that met the physical, psychological, and social needs of its people, Trump perhaps would not be a criminal.

This comes from my tendency to think people are more inherently good than evil, and that much of the evil comes from the patriarchal culture of accumulation

Alright, sure... we'll just move past it then lol

"This is not the platform to discuss organizing," [email protected] said.

Obviously there is more to their comment, and they are totally right. But it's ironic because it subverts your expectation of what a user called [email protected] would say

You don't see the irony there? In your username being [email protected] and your comment being

I’m politically active in several local organisations and if I have anything to discuss about that I discuss it with them, not with random people on social media. This is just not the platform for that.

It just tickles my humor. Its not a dig at you or anything. Local organization is most effective.

I think you're right but I just keep chuckling at the irony behind your username and then your comment haha

Night Palace by Mount Eerie for me
