ELF vs ExWorkersCollective

[wartomods]

This is a very stupid question/poll (some people will argue they are to different, they are, but thats where the interesting aspect of this question lies)
if you had only two options:
Being a member of elf
Being a member of crimethinc

what you would choose. consider all the true, different facts

I know about crimethinc, but what is ELF? Do you have a link so I could check it out?

i would propose that this would be a better conversation to not have on the internet. just a thought.

 

[Livingpastense]

......really?

 

[bote]

yeah, I think this is a very bad question.

 

[Monkeywrench]

You're either totally oblivious to the current atmosphere surrounding radical environmentalism/anarchy, or you're fucking retarded.

To answer your question (because you're clearly unfamiliar with both), you can't be a "member" of either--seeing as how they were non-heirarchical, non-member, autonomous organizations.

 

[wartomods]

it would be pretty extreme, they are radical organisations, that i in life would not really want to be associated with, but sometimes we have to do hypothetical discussions, like those where you ask what would you do if you die tomorrow and stuff. Wink

 

[wartomods]

Yes i am pretty oblivious of any of those organisation or what you want to call them. As i said before this is hypothetical.

 

[Smallredbox]

Okay, I get it now. If I HAD to choose, it'd be Crimethinc. Ive read a few of their books and some stickers from them in the mail for free.

Now, I haven't met any of their people face-to-face (that I know of) So I dont know how things REALLY are with them

 

[Monkeywrench]

Alright, what I said came off as a bit harsh. If you are truly unfamiliar with all that's going on with both of these organizations--I can only compare it to this; what you're asking (in the eyes of our government) is similar to asking people if they'd rather be a "member" of Al-Qaeda or the Taleban, KKK or Hammerskins. Follow? Both groups are viewed as highly illegal and subversive.

I woul rather be al-quaeda. seriously

But on a website with politics such as this, its not a hypothetical question. Realize the feds are most likely watching this forum, or at least have automated programs searching for dangerous phrases. Not a conspiracy, they'd have to be complete idiots not to. Too easy, too cheap, too useful. And claiming anywhere on the internet a desire to join the number one domestic threat is probably a bad idea.

 

[Gudj]

I had the same thoughts as Monkeywrench (but less violent): There are no 'members' of either group.

 

[oldmanLee]

Why not chose the scarier alternative:avoid groups that have an agenda and think for yourself?

thats liberty for you america

you are in Portugal? I would be very surprised if pro-ETA threads on portuguese or Spanish forums are not monitored by local authorities.

Hmmm, I can't see Al-Qaeda hosting a public convergence in the US. Just a thought....

fantastic post.

 

[Arapala]

Uhh i am going to have to go with the Elf side of things, I mean who wouldn't wanna dress up like this and run around?

Bring back the fun. I mean, holy shit, people take this shit all to seriously...
