How anxious, predjuced and one-sided state media becomes while describing revoultionaries who challenge the authority in a really militant way. Hitherto your activism stays within the boundaries, allowed by the law, they try to remain “objective”, but when you take up arms (even if for fighting ISIS), state press starts to lament about you as a “terrorist”, “extremist” etc, ostensibly to warn security service, but in reality – to form your negative image in the society.
This article in DW (http://www.dw.com/…/greek-extremists-go-abroad-f…/a-39094660) reminded me about Belarusian state media reports about anarchists, where presstitutes (OMG, what a precise word! 🙂 depict us as a chaotic violent hooligans, equate us to nazi and never give us a word. The sordid methods of discreditation are very similar in both authoritarian and democratic states.
Anyhow, there is already 2 armed anarchists groups in Rojava: RUIS (Greek one) and IPRGF (international one). Let us wish them luck in their honest combat!
