Love to be an anarchist that is against leaking of classified information and for the state showing off its military might over an arrest. Good stuff.
i mean it would be funny if the feds were hounding this leaker guy for being a weird fascist pedophile, but that’s not what’s happening, they’re after him for leaking classified information. Their intention is to maintain imperialism. That’s what’s happening here.
goddamn, I hate Robert Evans so much. His podcast is kind of interesting but he’s frequently the wrongest person
Seymour Hersh: No one should take Bellingcat seriously. They’re a public arm of the US intelligence community.
Bellingcat: Take that back! That’s insane conspiracy theory you Russian stooge! We don’t represent the interests of the American state at all!
Immediately begins investigation to find, report, & dox leaker of US government documents, cheers for excessive intimidation of whistleblowers during his capture.
yeah but in further context this is the feds sending 5 helicopter and soldiers with rifles and full combat gear to arrest one 21 year old who leaked pentagon documents in a video game chatroom, which I do admit is a hilarious waste of resources
that’s scary to me though, because this is what they do to people who are white and ideologically on their side. They arrested this guy without incident and he’ll probably get a trial. Chelsea Manning is what happens to people they don’t like, thrown in jail without trial for a decade. What happens to people they really don’t like? Abu Ghraib or drone strike
Imagine being an “anarchist” who gets hard over a reactionary state arresting a leaker with 100 helicopters armed with hellfire missiles
Sure, but would you actively aid the feds? That’s what fedvans and his friends at bellingcop did. They aren’t just spectators laughing, they are active participants in the fascist state security apparatus
Twitter Anarchists fucking love supporting the state. I really don’t know how IRL anarchists live with them since they must constantly be on the verge of calling the cops every time there’s a minor argument at a homeless shelter.
leaking state secrets is only good if the leaker is pure of heart and passes my approved internet culture checklist.
Let’s say, just for the sake of argument :shapiro-gavel: that the leaker was an anarcho syndicalist with free market characteristics like CIwriteokAy here. Who thinks he would still be mad because the leaks are hurting stavy-ukraini war efforts against imperialist Russia? He would probably give some shitty long-winded rant about how we can’t be so eager to hurt the US that we accidentally embolden Russia.
US military finding out he’s a Nazi and instinctively sending all the military equipment to his house.
