Of course :-) I can understand the frustration with that trend, but it's all about where we're keeping our focus. I know a lot of content creators who are much bigger and don't do anything but empower folks (though most of them don't use the word anarchist either, or really self-identify at all).
Why anger sells more than building I would assume is just because it's emotionally triggering, so more likely to cause a reaction vs. a response.
yep, i agree with you there. I've often wondered if using the label "anarchist" is constructive any more. Seems that ppl automatically assume it means destruction and chaos. Is it worth it to try to re-capture and re-define the word now?
I'm starting to think it's not, which is why I use "entrepreneur" now instead. That word hasn't been stolen from us yet.
I don't use it except with others who I know are anarchists, or open-minded and truth-seeking enough to question into it (generally then accepting it for themselves haha).
Entrepreneur definitely is a positive trigger still in US culture at least, bringing up an image of the old American ideal of someone having an idea, putting labor into it, and finding success through it.
I generally either use a whole bunch of labels for myself (in a bio/intro post), or none at all (in conversations & such)
