    Remember kids: When running away from the cops, dont run directly at another group of cops or you might end up in the back of a cruiser.

    Anarchy is not about chaos and non government. Anarchy is about being your own master, a slave to no one.

      Sure is. Even when you impede traffic, vandalize property, steal what you want.
      Do not be afraid of the pissed off driver angrily coming at you - they don't wanna be a slave either and right now - YOU are enslaving him to YOUR version of freedom.
      BS on that.

      I would argue that although your right about the chaos your absolutely wrong about the non government, anarchism absolutely advocates non government. No God's no masters, but all in all I feel what you said just one anarchists perspective to another so do with it what you will, peace.

    This video is awesome. If you put it velocity to 2, it's still slower than normal lapse time. I think the whole thing took just a few seconds, and they slow it down to fit the song. The thing is, in that minimum amount of time, you can see so many good performances and rections of people (based on how everybody normally react when something like this happens in public)

    It’s a fascinating video. You can tell that most of the men in the onlooking crowd are horrified at the cop beating the shit out of the kid, but are afraid to intervene, until another kid dressed in black comes running up and takes the cop down. Love that grin at the end, like it was all planned or something.

      Maybe that's kind of the point. The 'Anarchist revolution' was a fantasy, but so is the idea of a perfect world. Just because you don't fight the police at every opportunity doesn't mean you're pro-cop. You just have to be aware of society's problems without being an extremist.
      Or maybe that's overthinking it. You decide.

      A reading of this song is that it’s people who were “anarchists” as teens without actually understanding the political philosophy behind it (tldr: no unjust hierarchy) and we’re doing it to be edgy jerks. Much like the song “common people” who act like being poor but have a comfortable living when they decide that they’re done playing pretend.

      That's literally what this song was, this was the first and only time she actually listened to her producer and label. She thought that listening to them would make a song popular enough to afford the lawsuit that Against Me! was struggling to deal with. I think it would have been better if she had done her own thing, but the pressure of a big label cannot be overstated.
