Are you SURE you're not a terrorist?

Labels change quicker and quicker the more State-terrorism there is in the world to arbitrarily apply them.

To me, being an anarchist means prioritizing the ability to choose in the later situation of cooperation or permanent competition first, before a power is imposed which will by its very existence remove that choice from being possible.

I also believe freedom can't be imposed.

Therefore in my opinion anyone imposing "cooperation" "for their own good" can never be a liberator.
Neither do they, but they usurp themselves the right to later indoctrinate those they disempowered into aligning with their personal view of "freedom", while I trust that all animals (including humans) when not externally pitted against each other will cooperate.
Well, I said "opinion", but it's also established science.

Liberation via Statism may seem like a shortcut, but that shortcut starts by cutting your own legs off.
It just CAN NOT happen.

@risabee @clacke Oh, uhmm, please forgive me if I came off as arrogant ot something. Not my intention.
It's just... I first read the Geneva Conventions and their affiliates almost 30 years ago now and then I kept going… in spite of being an anarchist ;-) and I want to share the knowledge I have acquired.
All well intended.

Of course law is always a matter of interpretation, as all language is...

ICYMI, #Petya ransomware works due to the exploits that the NSA knew about but kept secret under the names ETERNALBLUE and ETERNALROMANCE.
They knew the world and thus YOU was under threat, but kept silent, to ensure they could violate YOU.

Remember the crushing of #IstanbulPride2017 by police of Turkey?
Well, here's a picture from that event that I actually like instead... https://soc.ialis.me/media/PgCo_RnJzUKTo2XBUWw

Remember the Chernobyl disaster?
I sure do.
The radiation cloud passed right over my school.

Yesterday, the #Petya ransomware, enabled by the NSA, caused the Chernobyl nuke plant computers to fail, so radiation monitoring had to be done manually.

The NSA is a threat to global security (and yes, "global" still includes the USA).

I'm sure you've seen I keep struggling to get what I consider important from birdsite to you here without your being required to go there or join it.
I edit, I transcode, I find alternate sources… but this time I just couldn't.
I'm sorry.
I didn't set the local maximum filesize and I'm not able to fund storage.

Sorry, I can't cut this speech to fit maximum filesize to host here, but it SHOULD be seen.

AP: 3 Chicago officers indicted on conspiracy charges in alleged cover-up of black teen Laquan McDonald's fatal shooting.

Oh, P.S.: LOL!

Several hundred Berlin police fired from G20 preparations over "public sex and urinating on fences"; neighbours had complained about "party noise" https://www.thelocal.de/20170627/berlin-police-sent-home-from-g20-preparations-over-public-sex-and-urinating-on-fences

@liate Ah, sure, then I agree more. There are many laws that in practice only exist in theory.
I still think a universal basic income would be more efficient for both the individuals and society in general.

@clacke It can also be maintained as customary on the grounds of being frequently cited as such. Of course the customary intl law principle is mostly cited in humanitarian rights cases, but that doesn't mean that the others stop existing.
Examples of customary can for example include a similar rule being present in many States' armed forces manuals... even if the State in question haven't actually been at war. @risabee

@clacke Oh yes. Some people are forced to fill so many time consuming requirements just to "qualify", that they don't have time left to actually find the jobs that they would have been best suited for. Such a waste of postential.

@liate That would be very nice.
I know from personal experience though, that it is not enough.
While I was on sickleave with doctor's note, the relevant agency lost my forms for 6 months in a row, so I literally starved my nails off.
When I instead walked walked ~7km to turn to the social services for just the basics of food and electricity, they told me "it's not our table" and refused to even give me a public transport ticked the ~7km back.
Later, the agency found the forms and I got paid all the months retroactively, so I was certainly qualified too...

@clacke Customary international law is binding. That is extremely well established.
The ICCPR and the ICESCR are so cloesly tied to the UDHR that they are together informally called the International Bill of Human Rights and they are historically based on the principles of the UDHR.
I wouldn't claim to be an expert... of anything, but I know them well enough, having written commentaries on them for an anarchist discussion group. ;-) @risabee

@risabee Yup.
I will still point out the rights that States neglect to adhere to after they voluntarily approved them, as that in itself maintains them as "customary", to prevent them from claiming they are defunct.
Also highlights their hypocricy when they selectively enforce other laws according to arbitrary personal preferences...

We should use every tactic that has positive effects for our final strategic goals: a diversity of tactics. :-]
