Terrorism...?...What does that look like?
If you really think about...most of the terrorism in the world is committed by white, often times self proclaimed christian, right wing extremists...you would have to look at terrorism as affecting the world, even in proclaimed terrorist countries like palestine. You would also have to consider that the US is also capable of terrorist attacks, and when you look into it, realize that the US commits more terrorist attacks than any country in the world...both domestic(police killings) and foreign(usually in the form of drone strikes and/or aid to other right wing extremists). And then you would have to realize that the US government is mainly filled with white, self proclaimed christian, right wing extremists( yes, even democrats as they've moved to be more like centrist republicans since the war) and in fact, that the US government has always been filled to the brim with these extremists( Just look at Thomas Jefferson and his quotes about the Native Americans for one example) So, if you take all of this into account, you will realize that the most common terrorist in existence...is not brown, arab, or muslim....but looks more like Rush Limbaugh, and has seen since the beginnings of European colonialism...maybe before.
Anarchy?
Whenever a tragedy befalls us, people seem to attribute it to anarchy, this is a false attribution, simply because the conditions for anarchy do not exist.Anarchy in essence, is without government or governmental systems. We live in a deeply entrenched system, and that is to blame, not anarchy.
To blame a political theory and ignoring centuries of deeply rooted institutionalized practice in the form of conditioning is an act of the highest form of ignorance, and perhaps arrogance.

Charleston Terrorist Attack
The Charleston attack was a wake up call for America. But here's the truth...it shouldn't have been. Systemic racism is a pervasive issue which has plagued America since even before its conception. And the truth is, domestic terrorism occurs every day in America...in the form of police killings..which disproportionately consist of victims of color. We are murdered by police, trained and certified by the state, the very same state in which we entrust our lives. Racism? Domestic Terrorism? This isn't news to me. Wake up, America.

an ode to the religion of statism
There is, no religion like statism...and believe me..statism is a religion. You worship state made, state enforced money at the altar of banks...you sing hymns of the soldiers who supposedly protect the state...you pray to the police that supposedly uphold "justice"....you suck up the media propaganda daily that is a product of the state...you cry whenever the flag, a symbol of the state is disrespected...you spend your wages on trinkets that symbolize the state....you even send your children to die for your religion, the state. Statism is perhaps the most dangerous religion, for more people have died in the name of the state than any other cause or religion.
Unrestrained cooperation aka anarchy..and some history of human society.
I noticed the recent story about the vandalizing of the medical marijuana shop by police officers. This, of course, just reinforced my belief that hierarchy is the root of all problems in modern society, and in fact has been the cause of most, if not all problems in the history of civilization. When we hand over the power of the many to the few...the few abuse that power..it is, and has always been. The cops abusing their power is just another example. We need to look at the root problem, instead of being reactionary and addressing problems as they inevitably arise. Like most, if not all things in existence are interconnected, and operate on a cause and effect basis. We could mindlessly continue to blame individuals for the inadequacies of our system, organizational patterns, and philosophies. Race, class, nationality, even the gender binary...these are all social constructs...and are strongly perpetuated by capitalism...and certainly don't slip through the cracks of interconnectedness and cause and effect. To tread back on topic, when you step back and really look at society, now, and throughout history, you will find that it is just one giant struggle for resources...and government/law has been the rich lording over the poor...in many cases the rich being rich because they took most of the resources by force. Look at today's society. The police, the military, security guards...all of these are enforcers..and their main purpose is to either acquire wealth( resources) or protect it. Take away these enforcers and you have revolution, because obviously people naturally want their fair share of the earth's bounties, or at least enough to survive on. When it comes down to it...all of modern history has been class struggle and class warfare. Race, the gender binary, nationalities...these are all social constructs that were invented with the rise of hierarchy, which is now expressed through capitalism. And like government being the division of people, economics has been nothing more than the division of resources, as I said, most often being unfairly distributed. Law, the tool of government and economics, is nothing but a construct of the powerful, to further their agendas, which most of the time happens to be in fact, amassing more resources for themselves. Law is certainly not guided by justice...nor by any moral code. Slavery was legal because it was profitable. Many disagreed with it, but the powerful insisted, and so they got their way. Again, construct of the powerful. The same can be said today in a society that favors guilty, morally bankrupt rich people, over innocent poor people. Just look to modern legal cases for examples. What is my point? My point is that all of human history...war, government, legal systems, and today, corporations, have all been based off of humanity's basest instinct....Greed. I do have some positive news though, we can change. Anarchy is essentially unrestrained cooperation, the absence of hierarchy, the presence of equality and justice. If we can all look at ourselves in the mirror, and be honest with ourselves about what we really want, the reality of the system that we live in today, as well as the truth about human history.....we can change....we can evolve our minds and operate on higher instincts, which all humans possess. We see these qualities in people every day. Love, compassion, selflessness, sacrifice, empathy. My question is, if we all possess these very human qualities...and we admire these qualities...why don't our systems, social organization, and society reflect them? We can do better.......and you want to know anarchy is a threat to? The 1%....when society in a nutshell is just a collection of classes with the ruling class taking in over 99% of all new income, things need to change...Whenever a tragedy befalls us, people seem to attribute it to anarchy, this is a false attribution, simply because the conditions for anarchy do not exist.Anarchy in essence, is without government or governmental systems. We live in a deeply entrenched system, and that is to blame, not anarchy.To blame a political theory and ignoring centuries of deeply rooted institutionalized practice in the form of conditioning is an act of the highest form of ignorance, and perhaps arrogance.The real issue with the world is, that people pay attention more to the perceived threat of anarchy, than to the very real threat of governments

Random conspiracy theory 1-Critical thinking
in truth, the entire military industrial complex uses the same scare tactic...always fabricating or in most cases physically creating and arming extremists...to justify taxation and military action, which in actuality is all about profit...but I'm sure you already know this.
and of course, none of it would be possible without the consent of the governed....though they've been trying to figure out a way do away with that for ages...which is probably why there is taxation to begin with...to include everyone in their atrocities and gain support...because let's be realistic here....the gold standard was nixed in 72 by Nixon..and we have a fiat currency...and they can print money whenever they want....so they really don't need our money....like I said...just a way to garner support i.e. mental support-through psychological justification and physical support- through amassing a military....recap: frabricating and most of the time physically creating made up threats to national security to justify bombing innocents for profit...and the subjugation of us citizens through taxation to gain approval for it.I could also add that not just taxation, but total and complete doctrination is fit into the bill as well. Just think, from an early age you're taught the pledge of allegiance....the national anthem at every sports game...the sale of "American food" and American car...It's all a brand....made to make you identify with the very forces that are oppressing you....I call it "The American Identity"....it's nationalism is what it is. just some conspiracy theories of mine. Enjoy
