Anachist: Some asshole who fucks shit up in the streets and is too chickenshit to stick around

[MrScorpio]

To clean up

May they stay away from this weekend's protest

[SeattleGirl]

1. Especially in Seattle.

I'm still hatin' on them years after the Battle in Seattle.

They (the ones here, anyway), don't really have any true point in being at the protests. All they wanted to do was fuck things up for everyone else.

[KitchenWitch]

2. While we are at it... can we keep chimpy out of California, please?

[SeattleGirl]

3. Honey, if there was anything I could do to make that happen,

I would.

[KitchenWitch]

4. I know

I find it beyond insulting that he is coming here.

[SeattleGirl]

5. All he's gonna do is fuck up traffic, and interfere with the firefighting

efforts.

Way to go, George.

[mondo joe]

29. Me too. They vandalized the city and caused a lot of very vulnerable people

to be negatively impacted by their actions.

[Beelzebud]

6. Or a government employee sent in to make the protesters look bad. It's happened before...

[Richard Steele]

28. Bingo. It's a regularly-used ploy, and not a new one.

Hopefully, it's getting harder for them to pull off.

Protestors know to expect it these days, and everyone
has a camera.

They CAUGHT those three cops trying to do that at a
protest in Canada just the other month- that did
my heart good!

7. Yea.. you might wanna read up on the history there...

Chomsky is an Anarchist.

[SeattleGirl]

8. But Chomsky didn't wreck havoc on the streets of Seattle.

There's a right way and a wrong way to go about things.

What MrS is referring to is the wrong way.

Chomsky is referring to the right way.

I'll tell you, if those fucking assholes show up this weekend, I'm gonna be pissed.

[rAVES]

9. Ah I gotcha, thought that was just a blanket dismissal.

sorry bout the snappy response :spank:

[SeattleGirl]

10. No prob.

:hi:

[MrScorpio]

11. That definition was a specific one not and not a generalized one

Oh, yeah, I know Chomsky's an anarchist, I read his books


But you'll never see him in the streets wearing black masks and throwing bricks at people

[rAVES]

12. Well he is wearing a black mask!

;-)

[Lilith Velkor]

13. Vandal would be a more accurate term

Of course, some anarchists are also vandals, and they'll probably show up unless they're in jail.

Think of them as canaries in the coalmine of fascism - if they haven't been rounded up, you're probably alright.

[Luminous Animal]

14. Anarchists? Hahahaha!

No. Rather, fresh punk kids and a few infiltrators thrown in. If you are so inclined it might behoove you to educate yourself on a little anarchist ideology and then confront one or a few. They are no more anarchist then I'm sportin' Big Foot's butt.

[conscious evolution]

15. Cointelpro

Looks like some here have never heard of it.

[MrScorpio]

18. I dig you

I've got my own copy of the COINTELPRO Papers by Ward Churchill

[conscious evolution]

19. Glad to hear that

You kinda scared me there.As long as you have been around here I could not beleive you had never heard of that program.

If anyone here has NOT heard of Cointelpro I highly recommend educating yourself about it.

[MrScorpio]

20. I read that book almost 15 years ago

I lived in Northern VA at the time and worked at the Pentagon.

It was a pretty good political education I had

[H2O Man]

21. Right.

There is a reason why these folks show up like magic at progressive events, but not at conservative events. If they were true anarchists, they would not "endorse" one political party.

[BadgerLaw2010]

22. If they showed up at a right wing event, they'd be in very serious physical danger.

[H2O Man]

24. Doubt it. n/t

[conscious evolution]

23. Good observation

Got to say I never noticed that before.It does fit their MO.

[Lilith Velkor]

30. Because they're leftists?

:think:

[Clark2008]

16. What's an Anachist?

Do you mean Anarchist?

:shrug:

[MrScorpio]

17. That's what I get for posting in the middle of the night without the benefit of a spell check

Thanks for pointing that out

[chaska]

25. I'm all for anyone who actually does something besides completely ineffectual marching.

[mondo joe]

27. Not too picky about what they actually DO though, huh?

?

[datasuspect]

26. anarchists were in the vanguard of the fledgling labor movement of the late 19th

early 20th centuries
