I can't figure out what "accepting anarchism" could possibly mean that this makes sense. It seems to be saying that people who have been abused are dumb for knowing that betrayal is a possibility when you trust people.

ETA: It simultaneously insults abused people by suggesting the reason they don't agree with the speaker ("accept anarchism") is because they're too damaged to realize the speaker's position is a good one, and insults abused people by suggesting the reason they're too damaged to agree is because they're too dumb to realize that their abusers had agency and chose to use it to abuse.

accepting anarchism is a total misdirection, and it doesn't even have the pretense of being intentional misdirection.
The original state of things is anarchy. It doesn't work.
Everything else of 'community' or 'society' is an attempt to find a way for people to be safe living together.

Your Friendly Butch Anarchist is living in a private dream world where a known unworkable thing is the 'shiny toy' used to self-distract. The actual world around this person is one of the less than perfect attempts to move from anarchy to dealing with the real world.
