Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

Be respectful
Don't be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

Anarchist question from a 15 year old (lemmy.ml)

Basically, my question involves to what extent I should obey my parents as an anarchist. I'm breaking their trust right now by writing this. Basically, in a long series of events that's lasted my entire life, they've come to think that I'm obsessed with going on the computer, and recently with computer privacy and security. They only let me on the computer for school related purposes. Should I do what they say? I feel an anarchist might have a different answer about this. I feel like we've just been getting along so well lately, and we would all cry if they found out I broke their trust, but, on the other hand, child liberation? I'm really confused.

This is a difficult question. Anarchism is not against all types of authority, but against hierarchy specifically (unjustified and unwanted authority). The question is whenever we can consider this as a hierarchy.

recently with computer privacy and security.

What do you mean? I don't understand the link between this and the fact you cannot go on your computer.

PS: I am 15 too.
