i used to be reflexively anti-institution now i'm wondering what does that even mean

what is an institution even

tbh sometimes mfs just co-opt beliefs for the sake of identity/outward positioning purposes.

i know i don't fw the existing institutions

is the alternative new institutions, or deinstitutionalism? (made up word)

curious.

would you consider like a community or network of people, an institution?

no, in my head institution = unelected group of people that has a budget and legal power to impact your life, either through social or legal rules

ah then yeah i am still reflexively anti-institution
