I recently went with an "Anarcho-Curious" friend to an Anarchist meeting in Dublin, and she has been put off Anarchism because of what went on in the meeting:
- In-jokes and elitist comments about people who didn't identify as Anarchists
- The fetishisation/aestheticisation of violence for its own sake
- The emphasis they seemed to place on just "resisting" and protesting everything without actually offering any creative solutions
- The informal dress code
