RE: Voluntaryism: Do the Ends Justify the Means?

in #anarchy7 years ago

I have a number of friends who I've shared Larken's videos with who have done exactly that. I try to discuss the content with them, but they get turned off by the delivery. Personally, I love Larken's approaches because he calls bullshit every where he sees it and completely without apology. I think the world not only needs more of that, but they need to get out of their safe spaces enough to learn how to deal with it and respond respectfully.

As Larken pointed out in his post, Adam can get flustered and emotional as well. We all can. No one is perfect. That said, he does an amazing job with the many videos I've seen of him confronting people or being confronted and using NVC.

I don't think its so much getting into a safe space but rather the subconscious mind using it as an excuse to not have to dismantle it's possible false internal belief structure.

Yeah, I agree. There's a whole lot of cognitive dissonance that comes up when people's core principles about what is "good" (nationalist, voting, authority, etc) and what is "bad" (anarchy, no government, etc) gets questioned.
