Re: As Russia's recent history proved (none / 1)

Ah, but one man's chaos is another man's hope for a better life.

Useful talking follows experience, the more experience the better. Talking that precedes experience is known as bullshit.

Don't confuse chaos with anarchy.

To the security state, the distinction is meaningless, making the response the same.

Re: As Russia's recent history proved (none / 1)

My point was that the source of power here is a security state that will happily label ("terrorist"), incarcerate or kill either unruly, "chaotic" perpetrators--or anarchists, and sees no distinction.

Blackwater in the Big Easy, and death on the bridge. Was this guy an agent of chaos--or an anarchist? Does not matter. Just meat now.
