Does anyone know what this means practically?

Beware that, when fighting monsters dunking on posts, you yourself do not become a monster dunked on

If someone is debating better than you, you call them a debate pervert

It’s a shibboleth for this community. Something you use to alienate people who don’t know that, under all those layers of irony, you don’t actually want to kill white people. Also preserves the identity of the community as an edgy/crass leftist space.

You’re telling me a corporation condemns Hamas?

Will you send me a Valentine’s even though I’m not white?

Graeber’s rejection of the concept of the state undermines one of the basic assumptions of anarchist thought, which is anti-statism. As the reviewer says,

But this “simplistic” conception of the state is also the conception that fuels or articulates the anarchist critique of the state, from William Godwin to Mikhail Bakunin to Emma Goldman […] In late Graeber, this looks simplistic and nonempirical. “The state” is a concept that falls apart under analysis and should be abandoned. Of course, that makes anti-statism just as senseless, for what is an anti-statist fighting against, really?

Same logic applies to his rejection of egalitarianism, which is also an important aspect of anarchist thought. I think late Graeber would dismiss anarchism as based on the same flawed Enlightenment assumptions that he spends debunking in The Dawn of Everything.

I think Graeber remained a radical throughout his life, but not an anarchist in his later works. Unless you’re using a more expansive definition of anarchism?

I think this article is good. Dismissing the concept of egalitarianism and the state does seem like a move away from anarchism

I think sectarian posting should be allowed, as long as it’s high effort analysis and not deliberately trying to be antagonistic. I think that would encourage more dialogue rather than stifling it.

He’s not a Marxist? Damn I guess it’s good to spread libel then
