Manarchist

Manarchists are the non-hot variety of anarchist. Manarchists are macho "anarchists" who talk too much at meetings, adhere to the cult of the great thinkers (drop Kropotkin, Bakunin, Proudhon, Chomsky, etc. . . all the time), negate others' experiences, take up space, exert their privileges to ... Read Moretheir fullest, and generally perpetuate heteropatriarchal bullshit

Manarchists flourish at house shows, where they might drunkenly talk at you about the working class, without allowing any of the transfolk and women present to speak. They are also found at meetings where they have all the ideas but none of the time or energy to do the work. They can sometimes be identified by the PBR cans that grow in their hands and the famous now-defunct leftist organization and/or crust band their outer coverings reference.

The great thinker like in the beatnik days I think. Sit around the coffee house exposing great ideals, but never have the time to go out and do anything. Kind of like the guy in the bar who gets everyone all riled up to go and torch a building and says "Go ahead I will meet you there".

Did you really want to tie your opinion to that of some anonymous person with a grudge on Urban Dictionary?
