they/them
Reputation laundering. The LDS church collected $33 billion in tithes and $15 billion in profit on private holdings in 2010 alone. Don’t fall for this bullshit, they’re the most hell-bound sinister ghouls this world has to offer.
The LDS church is a force of evil in the world and $1 million dollars (0.002% of their annual proceeds) is pretty cheap for an ad to control the narrative.
It really does. That is one upshot of anarchism for sure, it provides a framework for individual liberty that right-libertarianism kind of falls flat on by allowing corporate power to influence individuals as a stand-in for a state. Marxism also doesn’t scratch that itch, you have to buy in to the need for a balance between the rights of the individual and the rights of the collective (which then come back around and benefit the individual, if all things go according to plan)
first off, I’m a Marxist but y’all are my comrades, so my suggestions are coming from the outside but these are a couple pieces I used when I was finding my feet politically. These are a couple of the works that I found that make a compelling case for anarchism.

right? It’s literally a pan leftist instance, there’s anarchist comms and everything. The thing that people are afraid of when they call people tankies isn’t any particular ideology, it’s just a fear of confident and firm left wing ideology of any sort. In order to not be a tankie, you have to be compromising and undedicated in your left wing beliefs, that’s it, that’s the criteria.
