    Anonymous asked: Do terrorism good cards even exist? It seems unlikely to come from a credible source.

    I think the best argument I can think of for terrorism being good comes from The Battle of Algiers:

    Journalist: M. Ben M’Hidi, don’t you think it’s a bit cowardly to use women’s baskets and handbags to carry explosive devices that kill so many innocent people? 
    Ben M’Hidi: And doesn’t it seem to you even more cowardly to drop napalm bombs on defenseless villages, so that there are a thousand times more innocent victims? Of course, if we had your airplanes it would be a lot easier for us. Give us your bombers, and you can have our baskets. 

    In History there are winners and losers.  The winners are called “freedom fighters” and the losers are called “terrorists”.  There are a shitload of authors on this topic but I had to “Cain” the previous anon since this is not FuckYeahLD

    There’s no objective value to what is or isn’t credible.  I cut evidence from anarchist manifestos like “The Coming Insurrection” and the stuff written during the UC Berkeley Occupation a couple years ago.  It’s really bad to prefer one form of knowledge production over another because then it allows elites to monopolize the dissemination of knowledge.

Fuckyeahpolicydebate is pretty popular. Also, this number is totally arbitrary since we think math is racist.
