The indictment’s section entitled “Anarchy Background of the Defend the Atlanta Forest” reads like a high school book report on the history of anarchism and is reminiscent of political prosecutions of activists and radicals during the Red Scare: https://unicornriot.ninja/2023/over-60-people-indicted-on-rico-charges-in-atlanta-allegedly-promoting-anarchist-ideas/

@UnicornRiot They didn't do a good job of making anarchism sound scary or bad, quite the contrary.

@UnicornRiot mutual aid and solidarity, can't have that!

"Anarchists believe in checks notes helping others, that we are all in this together, and that strength in numbers is important. Obviously, these are absurd ideals and not compatible with modern American beliefs"

@UnicornRiot part of that definition actually sounds more libertarian than anything.

@UnicornRiot "These people hate hierarchy and authority, but are totally in cahoots engaging in a massive, organized conspiracy."

@UnicornRiot It reads like a chatGPT thing, or perhaps something a freshman history student would write, not realizing that mutualism is also advocated by the church they attended for years…

"unnecessarily" oppressive? so some oppression is necessary?

Methinks “promoting anarchist ideas” would be exactly the kind of unpopular (?) political speech the 1st amendment is meant to protect

@UnicornRiot RICO being used for what surely it wasn’t intended for.

@UnicornRiot my initial feeling is this is retaliation for the Team Trump RICO charges. If these defendants can get this RICO charge tossed I hope they sue this petty little petit fascist DA out of office.

@UnicornRiot doesn’t this set a really worrying precedent for anarchists? Like any anarchist groups based in the so call US can now be brought up on RICO charges for being an inconvenience to those in power and having the same ideals?

@UnicornRiot

Appreciate #UnicornRiot covering so many modern flashpoint, historical moments.

Hope one day we'll look back and remember the day these RICO charges brought by lawless, activist AG Chris Carr were revealed was also the day similarly despicable, lawless, activist AG - Ken Paxton's trial began.

This fascism and injustice will not stand.

Until then, lets work to see "the moral universe's arc bend toward justice"!

@UnicornRiot I promote anarchist ideas every day. Come at me.

@UnicornRiot How can anarchists engage in organized crime??? Wouldn’t it have to be un-organized by definition?
