Do not focus on ideology. It does NOT matter what creed you are. Everyone is oppressed by the pseudo-capitalist society. Hyper-focusing on an anarchist lens, or any political lens for that matter, only serves to cause immediate division from someone with differing views. This sub is for everyone.

Month: April 2022
For context, this was 2 years ago and 2 jobs ago in October 2020 (height of the pandemic).
