one of the crimes that isis is accused of is mass torture.
"and, don't you argue in favour of prosecuting war criminals from the 2003 invasion of iraq?"
yes.

see, the difference between you and i is that you see the world in terms of identity and i don't. you can't make sense of me because i don't identify with or wave the flag of any tribe. and, that's part of being an anarchist - and actually getting being an anarchist. i have no time for gender, for religion, for race or for any other dividing factor that's going to lock me down intellectually and herd me into some specific quarter, where i'm easy to dissect and analyze and control.
i'm an animal, but i'm not a fucking farm animal.
