Dear media,
I am an anarchist.
I assure you, the Capitol Hill mob are NOT anarchists.
Anarchists support, among other things, social and economic egalitarianism; not extreme cultural conservatism, nationalism, and the like. That’s fascism. Do some actual research.

If you’re at all interested, there’s more to social anarchist political philosophy than causing a fuss in public.
• free
• egalitarian
• cooperative
It sees the central antagonism within society as the conflict between
1. Sociality: the voluntary cooperation of free equals
2. Hierarchy in its various forms
It’s not actually that crazy.
A free online book, Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos, is chock full of such examples.
I have no faith in the notion that it can be achieved through some kind of ruptural event like the Storming of the Winter Palace.
Instead, we try to do what we can to eliminate hierarchy in the here and now.
Anarchists have also been historically involved in every fight for civil liberties and used to be joined at the hip to the labour movement

I don't normally do threads like this but I did want to provide some deeper thoughts on the below and why having a video game based on a real world war crime from the same people that received CIA funding isn't the best idea.
This will go pretty in depth FYI.
The core reason why I'm doing this thread is because:
1. It's clear the developers are marketing the game a certain way.
2. This is based on something that actually happened, a war crime no less. I don't have issues with shooter games in general ofc.
Firstly, It's important to acknowledge that the Iraq war was an illegal war, based on lies, a desire for regime change and control of resources in the region.
These were lies that people believed and still believe to this day.
It's also important to mention that the action taken by these aggressors is the reason there was a battle in Fallujah in the first place. People became resistance fighters because they were left with nothing but death and destruction all around them after the illegal invasion.
This is where one of the first red flags comes up.
The game is very much from an American point of view, as shown in the description.
When it mentions Iraqi civilians, it doesn't talk about them as victims, but mentions them as being pro US, fighting alongside them.
This will go pretty in depth FYI.
I couldn't possibly guess why Six Days in Fallujah is being revived at a time when US army recruitment is at an all time low.

This reboot is from the same people that worked with the FBI and CIA on training systems and is basing its game on excusing US war crimes. pic.twitter.com/5H8vVqKh9s
