      Reminds me of that German police report of leftist groups during the pandemic. They wrote something along the lines of

      Left extremist observe most of the rules imposed by the government and even further. But, shame on them, they do not do it, because of obedience towards said government, but because of solidarity with their vulnerable fellow human beings. We hate that.

      Was quite funny 😅

      The fact that you cannot divest humanitarianism from humanity should have been their first clue.

        I watched “The Humanity Bureau” last night (2017, Nic Cage, on youtube for the moment) and that’s basically the theme. Definitely a B movie but a bit freakishly prophetic.

      I was interested in the source of this post, what I found was a 2004 academic paper out of the university of South Florida which looked into how law enforcement is meant to combat “modern” (2004) anarchist criminals. I haven’t read past the first page yet, but it looks interesting to see how cops try and parse anarchist ideologies as being solely “terroristic”

        I like the phrase “the food is not necessarily only consumed by anarchists”, as a begrudging acceptance that their in fact may not be a secret cult of poor people trying to bring down society and that they may just be poor people.
