The abandoned building they squatted together was a colourful tapestry of art, laughter, reclaimed waste, and spirited debates about the nature of authority,
cultivate a spirit of exploration and innovation — create anarchy everywhere you go and the fruits of anarchy will transform not just your life, but the world around you, creating a tapestry of vibrant, interconnected lives unbound by fear or conformity. Don’t grow up, grow wild.
Grow wild in your thoughts, actions, and relationships. Let your ideas blossom like untamed vines, intertwining with others to form a vibrant tapestry of diverse perspectives and experiences.
In the time that I experimented with ChatGPT when it first came out, one thing it would very consistently do is describe things as a ‘vibrant tapestry’. It was one of its favorite words to use, plopping it in there at least 60% of the time.
I know some people’s work have been wrongly accused of using AI for their writings, but combined with the Em-dashes and the overall style/tone of the article, it gives off a strong impression of AI-written vibes.
It’s not ai written. I used duck.ai to suggest ways to improve the flow of a few paragraphs after I wrote them and then rewrote the paragraphs myself further based on the suggestions. I liked the word tapestry so I kept it, but I guess using it 3 times is too much, you’re right.
The long dashes were all me. It’s just proper grammar.
Duck.ai is an anonymous front-end for AI LLMs, most of which are ChatGPT models.
I would put forward that a manually tweaked version of an AI’s rendition of your original writing is, in my subjective opinion, difficult to distinguish from untweaked AI writings.
You can easily go through my 8+ years of essays that i never used that tool on and see my writing style is consistent. Regardless, I don’t owe you anything, you’re not my boss. I can use a thesaurus or sentence structure formatters if I want.
I did not suggest you alter your method of writing, I only gave feedback on how the end result of that particular method came off to me, which I made sure to mention was only my subjective opinion. If you prefer that style, then by all means, continue to employ it.
I’m undecided if I want to keep using it, but it did save me a lot of time. The thing I always struggle with is I rewrite each sentence dozens of times until it feels right because of my OCD. Using that tool, I only had to rewrite the sentences 2-3 times and managed to finish the essay in a day when it usually takes me a full week at least.
“Grow up” needs to be quoted here, since it means: “conform to my ideal of authoritarian norms.”
I don’t think so since it would defeat the point of the essay (don’t grow up)
Then it would read backwards:
Anarchists, please never “Grow up.”

“White awakening,” did you really create an account just to digressively victimize yourself, on lemmy?

I’ll take that as a “yes.”

I hate to say this, but this reads like someone who hasn’t done a lot of political engagement outside of an internet context. That’s not to disparage, but it might be helpful to talk to some normies. I’ve found that if you engage with people about the ideas of anarchism without getting into the nitty gritty language of political theory, then you’d find that a lot of people agree with anarchist principles.
Talking to tankies on the internet will not get you anywhere. You’ll never change their minds and you’ll only leave the situation frustrated. They specifically use demeaning language because they know it just might prompt you to write a whole essay about how mad you are about it.
So fuck 'em.
You clearly don’t live in a country with a huge Marxist Leninist party like I do. Tankies exist off the internet too.
That’s true, I don’t. But my point stands whether you’re talking about irl tankies or internet tankies all the same
I’m really sorry to say that, but this text sounds like some sort of political grooming of teens to me.
Edit: This txt is supposedly addressed to adults, but it is actually written in a very child-like language imo. This is very different to an “accessible to all” way of writing. This txt I find it spooky tbh, especially after Bongo comes into the picture.
