Iâm planting my flag on this hill: stop using âanarchyâ as a synonym for chaos and disorder đŤŁ
That framing serves those who hold powerâand want us to believe that dismantling unjust systems and governing ourselves could only end in catastrophe.
So yes, âanarchyâ might sound dramatic in a negative sentence. But perhaps the word youâre looking for is âbedlam.â
And if you do use âanarchy,â try using it positively:
âFor many, 1990s Berlin offered a glimpse of the beautiful possibilities of anarchy. Places like Tacheles emerged from extraordinary personal freedomâbut also from deep collaboration, collective responsibility and the courage to build without waiting for permission.â
Anarchy isnât the absence of order. Itâs the absence of rulers.
And I dare say, Anarchy is why so many of us 25% choose to live in Berlin, and would love it if the place was even more anarchistic.
The police enforces one rule very strictly in Paris: youâre not allowed to wear headphones while cycling. Solution: everyone who wants to listen to music while cycling hangs a boombox on their bike and blasts it really loud
Has anyone else noticed that Steffen Krach looks like a poor-manâs Mark Wahlberg? Every time I see his SPD poster I immediately think, âThereâs Marky Mark and the Funky Bunchâ.

Itâs so random reading an AI generated text defending anarchy đ
Does anyone who actually learnt to build sentences now just get painted as a producer of AI slop?
Or are you jealous that you can't write well without the help of AI?

The tram wedding detail made my morning. Only in Berlin.

In some RBB report I saw, Krach told the reporter he "looked like Tom Cruise".
