Obviously I don't know the person enough to be doubtful of their claims, but the fact that they cite their rap sheet as proof is a little telling to me. I love a good crime as much as the rest of us, but just because a crime targets an oppressive system doesn't mean it's inherently productive activism, and it also doesn't mean that the dissemination of knowledge of oppressive systems and means to resist them isn't equally as important. I really hate when people want to fight their own "little revolution" by themselves and are highly resistant to other means to achieve the same ultimate goal. Unity is so important, and this notion that "you're not an activist until you've been in cuffs" is counterproductive... especially if you give it all up as soon as you have something to lose. Some of us don't have the liberty of giving up the fight because we're the first lined up to go in the meat grinder. I know I'm probably preaching to the choir here but this particular mindset annoys the fuck out of me lol
