@Worsel77 – you were willing to admit it a moment ago. Suddenly you change your mind when asked to face the implications

Tue 15 Nov 2011 22:16

@Worsel77 – I’ve lived in places with no government that were entirely peaceful. The Somalia govt just fell apart _during_ a civil war

@GreatNeighbor @planetmoney – I don’t listen to planetmoney since they wasted hours of my time taping an interview they didn’t air

Tue 15 Nov 2011 22:15

@Worsel77 @CristineMower71 – you actually think cops should have a right of privacy others don’t have _while_ enforcing the law? Huh????????

Tue 15 Nov 2011 22:14

@Worsel77 @CristineMower71 – huh?? (a) it’s not illegal to video non-cops in public (b) we’re talking about cops performing public duties!

Tue 15 Nov 2011 21:21

@Worsel77 – (a) so you’ll accept the values of the guy who happens to have the most guns? great solution (b) I’m an anarchist.

@joepdx – I tend to advise against doing things that would get you immediately killed. I mean, up to presenting a warrant I’m with you…

Tue 15 Nov 2011 21:15

@CristineMower71 – it’s extraordinary we’re even asking this question. Why should they fear it unless they’re acting illegally?

Tue 15 Nov 2011 21:14

@Worsel77 – … then why not follow a higher code of principle even if it means ignoring the particular language of statutes, etc?

Tue 15 Nov 2011 21:13

@Worsel77 – I’m all for trying the legal option, but if obeying the letter of the law doesn’t stop them from attacking you anyway…

Tue 15 Nov 2011 21:06

@Worsel77 – I’m saying people act morally even when it contradicts (a) the letter of the law or (b) extra-legal or illegal threats by police

Tue 15 Nov 2011 21:04

@Worsel77 – I have never been to a demo of over 1000 where the police did not do something violent or illegal. Ever.

@Worsel77 – indeed, and I will help you do that in fact. But it’s a moral, not a legal conflict. Police operate outside the law.

Tue 15 Nov 2011 20:59

@Worsel77 – that’s a scare word. I was asking a simple hypothetical ethical question. What to do when law & authority are equally corrupt

Tue 15 Nov 2011 20:55

@davidgraeber @Worsel77 – chance of the police actually being held accountable if it is addressed another 1000-1. So a million to one in all

@PseudonymoPatro – yes, that’s correct, the question is one of tactics not ethics and I suspect you are right.

Tue 15 Nov 2011 20:51

@Worsel77 – in my experience one’s odds of having political violence by police even ADDRESSED, let alone punished, by the CJS is 1000 to 1

Tue 15 Nov 2011 20:40

@juleshyman – Bloomberg BW did a wonderful profile on me. So what. I don’t care. You work for a thug and if you had any ethics you’d quit

Tue 15 Nov 2011 20:39

@williambanzai7 – I don’t have any. They were surely recorded on livestream but don’t know if anyone has the stills yet

Tue 15 Nov 2011 20:34

@aristarchan – well I tend to be against cracking heads under any circumstances. Damaging equipment is not an inherent evil

Tue 15 Nov 2011 20:32

@Worsel77 – but if two wrongs don’t make a right, then we’d pretty much have to scotch the criminal justice system. Fine with me!

Mon 14 Nov 2011 19:39

@JohnFugelsang – yes we alternate between utter torpor and intense bursts of destructive activity. Then go to sleep again.

Mon 14 Nov 2011 06:00

@NohaElShoky @DinaMakram – yeah u know I keep saying instead of austerity in Greece they should just repossess all those battleships

Mon 14 Nov 2011 05:21

@eponymousthing – no she’s from Montreal and never saw them before she came here to Austin

Mon 14 Nov 2011 05:19

@NohaElShoky – yes and they want me to be a columnist! Guardian and Al Jazeera have also encouraged me. I can talk about Egyptian debt

@brian_frank @matttbastard @ronnyxu @late2game @j0_mama @sqedmonton – in the beginning the anarchists were the largest group anyway

@JeffSharlet @destructuremal – she asked for her name not to be used but then Mother Jones used her full name a few weeks ago

Sun 13 Nov 2011 00:34

@risinggalaxy @melflashman @emilyw00 @PublishersLunch – wish I could be there! I will visit soon.
