And a lot of them are probably foolish enough to mistake the symbols.

Never knew any Satanists. Knew someone who carved "I love Bibi" into his forearm to show a girl he liked her. After a year of going out he cheated on her....

I actually still have part of an anarchist symbol I carved and poured ink into on my forearm.

Is this a sketch of you, Tsu? The old you?

Actually, that's about what I look like now.

Except, it's missing the knife I always carry on my belt.

Was it you I saw with the jailhouse tat that said "Anarchists - unite and conquer!"

No, I moved up from anarchy to militant Libertarian Socialism.

That's even more of an oxymoron than the slogan Mikey mentioned.

You're an oxymoron.

Libertarianism as a philosophy is in favour of minimum state involvement, with anarchism as its greatest extreme. Socialism promotes greater state involvement, with communism as its greatest extreme. The two are diametrically opposed.

Government to help the people with social services and maintain equality, libertarian as in personal freedom and decentralization of power. As it states in that entry, the popular American use of the term libertarian isn't the original meaning, and doesn't always apply to the same thing.

Americans have hijacked terms like "liberal" and "libertarian" for their own purposes.

Fixed for accuracy

The first step to salvation is to recognise your problem.

Hey, at least I'm using the original meaning.
