FBI Report Describes Graffiti as a Tactic of “Anarchist Violent Extremists”

https://truthout.org/articles/fbi-report-describes-graffiti-as-a-tactic-of-anarchist-violent-extremists/

Community mobilization and mutual aid are models of resistance across the U.S. This ground-up organizing, rooted in a belief of universal human rights, now finds itself squarely in the crosshairs of the FBI’s extraordinary surveillance powers.

“The last 18 months have laid bare the reality Black Americans have known for centuries: Police responses often escalate violence, not ensure public safety,” Reynolds said. “Reports like these filed under NSPM-7 illustrate why our country’s sweeping domestic intelligence programs are untrustworthy and undermine the fight for a multiracial democracy.”

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time.

When you care about nothing but power and the property of yourself and other powerful and/or rich people, vandalism becomes terrorism and ingroup terrorism becomes patriotism.

Technically correct. This is about as extremely violent as anarchists ever get.

Unless you throw a Nazi into a room of anarchists.
