A lot of cypherpunk airbrushing going on
Its hard to help someone understand anarchist revolution when their whole idiotic identity depends on them not understanding it. When I first came here the list was regularly assaulted by off-topic spam sent by a Semich-like moron called ' Choate '. Some problems never get solved - they just get replaced by new ones. Till then, the best revenge is living well. And global cryptoanarchist victory may have already been assured as early as late 2010! Its just non-trivial and NP hard to distribute evenly. No pressure.

I don't understand most of what you're talking about, but there's a sense I get from it that resonates with me, of there being hopelessness around helping anything at all, let alone the hopeless. What comes to me after considering what you say, and filtering the tghings that confuse or irritate me, is that, despite an appearance of hopeless and harm, we dedicate our lives and efforts to helping the hopeless, and know that in the end nothing that can stop us. :)

When all is said and done a lot more is always said than done. Especially by gasbagging, timewasting obscurantist morons - like Karl Semich And then some Marxist problems never get solved - they just get superseded by new anarchist problems. Welcome to the global anarchist revolution! Help for the HOPELESS!

In the eternal sunshine of an idiots mind, there's no 1984, no Doublethink and no " MEMORY HOLE " How sweet to be an idiot. Then there's the best trick the mortal enemies of anarchism - Marxists and inverse-Marxist Libertarians - ever pulled. Telling us they don't exist and life is but a peaceful dream. " The Gulf War never happened "

A lot of cypherpunk airbrushing going on
These revisionist cypherpunk histories keep popping up and being shot down. And the longer they go on ( from Mange through Gupta to Wright & Backstabber ) the more OG's need to be airbrushed out. This actually befits an inverse-Marxist approach where the Austro-Hungarian, Lunar Right have about as much respect for empirical fact as the average member of a Communist Party. But its not something we anarchists could ever countenance.
