Anarchists are anti authoritarian. They care but they are willing to fight the authoritarian.
Your ignorance regarding
Genuine anarchists is bad.
I am an anarchist,but I and many other anarchists realize humanity is too emotionally damaged and immature to handle it.(narcissists,
sociopaths,
and authoritarians)
especially.
There are a lot of thought that goes into protests when true anarchists are involved,you have to rule yourself and be responsible for your actions and protect the vulnerable.
People fucking shit up is not anarchy.
Capitalists are very afraid of true anarchy because they'd have power over no one. That's why anarchy got a bad rap.
