      ehhh I’ve heard some wild Epic Western Anarchist opinions IRL but overt support for the CIA overthrowing other countries’ governments would be pretty out of pocket.

        Western anarchists will mostly weep crocodile tears and condemn those regime changes the CIA did years after the fact, while going on about how their victims were “no saints.” But look at any regime change or NED activities in the here-and-now (or in the last 2-3 decades) and suddenly they’re all for it.

      I was an anarchist, and while I never heard anything quite as extreme as overtly supporting the fucking CIA, any time foreign policy got brought up in convos it wasn’t uncommon to see comrades suddenly morph into r/CredibleDefense posters.
