Newly released FBI presentations show the flawed and misleading information the government is using to train agents to identify and investigate “domestic terrorist” groups such as “black separatists,” anarchists, animal rights activists, and environmentalists.
Among the more troubling portions of the training materials are warnings of activists using the Freedom of Information Act, engaging in non-violent civil disobedience, and gathering in coffee shops.
The domestic terrorism training materials were obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by the ACLU. They offer additional insight into a disturbing pattern of FBI activity misrepresenting political activists as “terrorists” and manufacturing “domestic terrorism threats” where none exist, akin to the notorious COINTELPRO program of J. Edgar Hoover.
How’s this for scary? AMERCIA!
Last time soldiers fought for the Freedom Of Speech was the revolutionary war. Plus, I’m an anarchist. What the government says means nothing to me. I can say whatever I want whether it’s legal or not, anyways. I’m fighting for my freedom under the black flag which has never been flown in the name of war for death. Fuck all flags of every government is what I’m saying.When we are young we didn’t know any better. Hell, we didn’t even know what we were saying. Now students can choose not to say it, but otherwise they say it by default. I’ve always viewed The Pledge as a sort of ignorant indoctrination.The flag has been flown in the name of war and death. I will never pledge my allegiance to a flag that has been used to justify the murder of millions. I’d rather set it aflame.
Why do they make us pledge to it in school? Isn’t that a violation of free speech.
But what about the good things that it’s been flown for?
You have soldiers fighting for your right to complain. You want to say fuck them too because they go to war so much?
Or say fuck the president because he’s one of the people who also helps protect your ass to complain because he takes a part in declaring war?
Wouldn’t anarchy cause a lot of chaos? And..I think you can only say or do so much before you get in trouble.
You can’t just say whatever you want. It’s called a law, and if you’re a US citizen, you have to abide by those laws. If you’re not, then forget I said anything.
Here, look up Anarcho-Pacifism and Anarcho-Syndicalism on wikipedia and read those. The wikipedia articles are simple explanations, but I think it’s a good starting point for what I’m trying to say. Those two philosophies are what I very passionately believe in.
I just want peace, love, and freedom. I happen to think Anarcho-Pacifism and Anarcho-Syndicalism are the best ways to do that. Also, regarding your question about anarchy being chaos, here is an article that helps explain the difference.
Trust me, after you read those three things; what I am talking about will make a lot more sense.
Also, I am a U.S. citizen and the law means nothing to me. I do the right things because they are the right thing to do, not because a law says so or not. I don’t need the government telling what is right and what is wrong. I do that for myself.
There’s a quote that you might find interesting. “Concerning authority and the law: The ‘good’ people don’t need it and the ‘bad’ people don’t obey it. So what good is it anyways”.

I think you got a bit of bad information. The soldiers right now are not fighting for our right to “complain.” Or really any of OUR (meaning the average non-military person) rights. They are fighting for power and wealth. So yes, fuck them very much. Not as people but as professional killers, and professional bombers, and as people trained to destroy and injure and kill.
I really wish people would educate themselves on what the purpose of a war is before they defend it.
What I meant by defending your right to complain isn’t just that. I’m referring to this-what if we didn’t have an army but another country who wanted to claim our land did? They’d overtake us, and I’m sure we wouldn’t have as much freedom as we do now. Last time I checked, when a country takes over another, they tend to instill their culture and ways of thinking on the original inhabitants.
And I’m not referring to now, I’m referring to wars period. In multiple wars, countries defend themselves from being overtaken by countries. Yes, sometimes we go to war because there’s a lot of profit in it, but that’s not always the case. We went to war in either WW1 or WW2 because a country was told by Germany that they would be given some of our states if they attacked us or something of the sort. We intercepted it and were able to decode the message and then defend ourselves.
…maybe you should’ve been paying attention in history class and the history channel. War isn’t all about power and wealth. It’s also about defending your freedom. And how dare you say “fuck you” to the soldiers who are defending your country so you can sit on your ass and do whatever you want. :l
I enjoy history even though I don’t always remember exact events and dates. But most events stick to my head, and what your saying and what I know and have learned don’t add up.
I don’t think you understand.
I am an anarchist. I will fight all governments who try to impose their state oppression on me whether it be America or any other country.
If America’s army attacked my fellow comrades and I we would defend ourselves. If it was another state we would do the same.
GOVERNMENT IS NOT FREEDOM. THE STATE IS OPPRESSION. THEREFORE ALL GOVERNMENT IS SOMETHING TO FIGHT AGAINST.
No one is defending my right “to sit on my ass” except for me.
I did pay attention in history class which is how I know that the United States murdered people to take over this land and imposed it’s militaristic imperialism in places like Indonesia and supported the colonization of African lands. That’s also where I found out that in the late nineteenth and early 20th century the American government adopted a policy of social Darwinism and manifest destiny that spread beyond the continental United States.
Plus, you know not everything you were told in school was correct, right? Many events in history are completely left out or skewed in the textbooks our children read. Remember learning about the Spanish Revolution in the 1930’s? Bet they didn’t mention that the civil war was between Spanish Fascists and Anarchists from Catalonia and that the Anarchists initially won and created their own autonomous community until the Spanish state violently invaded Catalonia and murdered men, women, and children to impose it’s state government on the unwilling.
I’m not just fighting the American government. I’m fighting all governments. I’m fighting the whole concept of government. The only thing defending me is myself. Myself and my fellow anarchist comrades. Anyone else is either ignorant or the very oppressor I despise.
There is no wrong, right or “normal”. Just different. Different from each other. No matter what you are, you are you. And you are beautiful.
This is what the American soldiers are fighting for. It’s not our “right to complain” or for you to live “free”. The war is for oil, power, imperialism, and the wealth of the few.
This war is about the oil companies and the arms industry. Your soldiers are overseas killing people and themselves not so you have a better life, but so the fat cats in Washington and the corporate slime on wall street can have their pockets bursting at the seams.
That’s what government intervention in the free market looks. In a capitalistic system, an inventive entrepreneur would have found a great way to provide water to the poor. That cartoon is a lie
Why would a capitalist find a way to get water to the poor. They don’t have any money…
Bingo
I believe a system like anarcho-syndicalism or anarchist communism could work in our society.
Also, keep in mind, anarchist societies have been put in place before. Unfortunately they were torn down violently by the state. A good example is the Catalonia autonomous community in Spain in the 1930’s. Plus, there was a Ukrainian free territory that adhered to anarchist communist principles.
It’s been done before and I want to see that done again on a global scale.
Pirates weren’t anarchists like we know now. They fought for themselves. Not for the common good. Pirates didn’t follow a socio-political philosophy. Besides, they didn’t fly a black flag of anarchism which symbolizes anti-state solidarity. They flew the “Jolly Roger” or the flags of their ship/fleet which intended to signify that they weren’t bound by the usual rules and morals of engagement.Last time soldiers fought for the Freedom Of Speech was the revolutionary war.

Well technically pirates flew the black flag and they killed some people and stole shit but still, every time someone gets defensive and drops the line “Soldiers fight for your freedom to COMPLAIN UGH”, I wonder how they can get through the day without choking on their own tongue. Statists always have the worst cases of cognitive dissonance
