The reason I'm an anarchist is simple: every time I have ever thought "we should improve things somewhat", there have always been rules that make it impossible.
Any time you consider making something more fair, the laws & constraints of our world as it has been constructed by humans make it nearly impossible to accomplish.
We can't stop the destruction humanity is wreaking on the world without rewriting our rules. The rules exist to specifically permit & facilitate destruction & harm.
When I was a child, I wondered why we all tolerated all the injustice & cruelty.
Then I grew up & found out that it is against the rules to do anything to stop it.
And we accept that. We accept that a corporation may do unbelievable harm to the world, leading to untold death, injury, & environmental destruction & that—no matter what they do & no matter how harmful it is—individual human beings are not permitted to take any action to stop them.
The fact that it is against the rules to do good is meant to absolve us from guilt. "Well, I would change things if I could, but the rules are in the way!'
In this schema, the "right way" to do anything is by following the rules. So if there's something you want to do which cannot be accomplished within the rules, then there is no way to do that thing "the right way". It may as well be impossible, because it is immoral to disobey the rules, especially in order to do something good.
I'm so tired of being told that the arbitrary rules of society forbid us from feeding, housing, clothing, & caring for each other.
I'm so sick of "the way things are" being enshrined in human laws & conventions that do not need to be that way if we don't want them to be.
I'm exhausted by the collective societal shrug as people who know that following the rules is killing the world refuse to stop following the rules EVEN THEN.
