Hey y'all, feel free to post examples of fucked up shit the government is up to or maybe even some anti-government memes if you've got 'em.

This guy went to prison for two years because he wouldn't back off on saying that waterboarding is torture. He came to my school to speak last year, his story is pretty fucked. If you ever thought that the Obama administration was different from Bush, this guy might change your mind.

Want to grow food with your neighbors? Get to know the local community and provide for yourselves? Nah.

Across the globe, an awakening is happening in which people are realizing the power of growing your own food. Detroit, Michigan is a prime example. People have turned many areas, essentially brought to ruins through government neglect, into a food oasis. Edible landscapes are increasing throughout the world; however, when government gets involved, this self-sustainability through community gardening can often be thwarted.

The residents of Sunshine Coast, whose city council just unapologetically laid waste to a 7-year-old organically grown fruit tree forest spanning 11 streets, are finding this out the hard way.

A single complaint about a permit sent the city council into a fruit-hating tyrannical whirlspin ? eventually leading to the destruction of the entire project.

Nobody cares about Australia though. They probably got shut down because the apple farmers union threatened to decrease campaign funding

"Let's put trees bearing big as fuck fruit RIGHT NEXT TO ROADWAYS WHERE CARS PASS!!! What could possible go wrong??"

Typical communists. Seriously you can have your gay trees. The city even offered to foot the tab for future insurance claims if they JUST REGISTERED FOR FREE, but in typical commie form they figured they could do whatever they want without concern for anyone else
