The "bundle of sticks" analogy has historically been used a lot by fascists. If someone used it to try to convince me, you can be sure it would backfire!
I have one friend who agrees with everything I say, but as soon as I say any word that falls into the category of "bad thing" (as determined by his facebook feed), he disagrees.
Honestly, I've been there, too. I read Graeber before realizing he was an anarchist. When I realized, it still took a while to embrace the ideology. I wouldn't have read him in the first place if I knew beforehand. Same with internet "celebrities"
