Important point—in this argument (which I support), the anarchy is not apolitical, even if it's tempting to think so.
Once again with feeling... the capacity to behave like this is a symptom of their own privilege and implicit disdain for the concept of making anything better. It's extremely rightwing.

Ugh, that's terrible.
I was so thrilled to see you in the documentary. As always, your insights were so important. And more generally, I've been very grateful for your work for a long time.
