No worries, and that's fair. You also don't need to read a whole ton of theory to get the gist in most cases (also, if videos are easier for you, Andrewism on YT for example, does good videos about anarchism), but it's always best to rely on sources from within - from people who practice the ideology and want it to succeed, rather than misinformation from outside which leftist ideologies suffer a lot from, because capitalist propaganda has done its utmost to twist and subvert what they mean and stand for.
Enjoy the ride!
Ladies and gentlemen, this style of exchange is why Lemmy is substantially better than Reddit, how Reddit was even as far back as 2012. Or any other online platform. Online civility is a lost art on most platforms. Instead of calling me some uneducated cuck and wishing my children die in a house fire, Sims provided resources, and even suggests that reading these resources when I have time is totally fine, rather than calling me an uneducated fuck stain for not having read them earlier.
Thanks for being a cool human, my dude
Tbf my levels of patience vary a lot lol. I would never berate anyone for not knowing something, no one knows everything, and we all learn something new every day (E: and also in different ways), though if someone clearly doesn't want to hear anything that doesn't confirm their bias I won't waste my time and might call them out for not wanting to know, and be blunt about that since I think some people need the rude awakening. On the other hand, if someone is already taking their own steps to explore outside of and challenge their bias, and I happen to know something about the topic or have a relevant resource, I'm more than happy to help. So the credit is yours as much as it is mine, but thank you.
On a side note - comrade(s) is a great gender neutral alternative to both ladies and gentlemen, and dude.
Dude is just as neutral as comrade. It's only your own preconceptions giving it gender.
Go ask a straight man how many dudes he's slept with recently and get back to me..
And ask the same straight man how many comrades he's slept with recently and receive the same answer.
