But under the current circumstances not voting is deeply irresponsible. The purist anarchist arguments don't apply with the kinds of threats the world is facing. 3105

Reposted by B.S.Bellis 🦋ECP @ecppdx.bsky.social · 25/09/2026There's basically only "closer to particular traditions" and "more distant from particular traditions."
