Like the band Against Me! ask in their hit I Was A Teenage Anarchist, 'do you remember when you were young and you wanted to set the world on fire?' Well, some actually hold onto that desire as they grow old and even let it manifest sometimes, too.
For example, a seagull may drink from a dog's bowl of water. Or a torrent site user may show off his love for the service in front of the Motion Picture Association of America headquarters. And we should admire them — to quote another more popular song, 'For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has not.'
Continuing our series on the subreddit First World Anarchists, we at Bored Panda compiled a fiery list of their latest posts to keep your inner rebellious fire burning. To catch up, check out our earlier posts on the sub here, here, and here.

At this time, u/rvauofrsol is the only moderator of the subreddit. "I didn't create it," they told Bored Panda. "I was just around when it was created."
I know, not often do you see a subreddit this big with just one person running the show. Or a completely empty 'Rules' section. But as u/rvauofrsol says, consider its name!
"Some of the most popular ways first world anarchists rebel are touching things, taking photos, and crossing lines," they explained. According to the moderator, the community of the subreddit is "chaotic yet cyclical."
Too Cool For School
Do Not Flip
Michael Friedman, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, life coach, and the co-founder of Hardcore Humanism, and he thinks that in order to understand the meaning of and need for peaceful anarchism, we need to look at humanity — being humane to humans, animals, and the planet.
To make his point, Friedman suggests looking at a conversation he had with Mark Greenway, the frontman of Napalm Death. "Human lives and other sentient lives as well, are more important than politics because ... if you can't ensure the welfare of those things, then politics is meaningless," Greenway told him.
God Save The Queen
“Don’t Tell Me What To Do”
The musician went on to describe a "crisis of humanity" resulting from a large percentage of the world's population being stuck in certain cultural standpoints and drawing red lines that they won't cross. "And that's problematic because then you prioritize the cultural aspects of the human being."
According to Greenway, peaceful anarchism is freedom. "The whole point of anarchy is not to be governed and you are your own god basically... There are a lot of people who advocate for revolutionary anarchism with forceful means. For me, the very troublesome part of that is then you're encouraging conflict again," he said. "Surely, for me, one of the things that underpin anarchism is to achieve a world where everybody can live with dignity and equality and such — like to where we understand that we don't need to take up arms against each other anymore. That should be completely a thing of the past."
Firefighters > Cops
Nathan Filliom Gets It....
Speaking to Friedman, Greenway advocated for more direct representation in local government. "It could be argued that, well, governments are all more or less the same thing. You know, they're based upon the protection of capital, and therefore, if you sort of get rid of the whole governmental system like when the Roman Empire collapsed ... you have a widespread representation on councils," Greenway thought out loud. "How many people on this earth don't have representation by their governments ... in terms of how things affect them, what they get from it? ... I'm hoping that it would show people that they have more value, that they have more worth and, in turn, that would then encourage people to be more cooperative within a community system."
What would emerge, Greenway said, is a natural connection to human beings rather than symbols or governmental parties. "I want to be able to take every human being, as a human being ... I don't want to judge people by any other standard. The whole sort of proud to be British thing, you know, the whole you've got to stand up for the flag and national anthem. No, I don't, why should I? I don't, for one thing, believe in them and the monarchic system ... so why should I stand up for something that I don't think is particularly great for the human beings that live in this country?"
Things I Hate
He Jus Wanna Drink
However, Greenway acknowledged that this type of political shift probably won't happen any time soon, if ever. But that does not stop him from following these principles in his everyday life. "I want to be free and able to breathe and not strangled by this stuff ... So when I walk out of where I live and want to take my bike out ... I go down to the beach and I ride around, you know, sometimes I think about this stuff," Greenway explained. "And I think to myself, you know what, I'm here right now, or even when I go back home, I'm here and I'm free ... Within myself, I am free because I'm not restricted by any kind of dictatorial kind of methodology ... And that's really liberating."
When you think about it, the subreddit First World Anarchists is exactly that — a celebration of freedom. And it's awesome.

My (White) husband accidentally wore a Slave t-shirt to a museum of Black history in Birmingham, Alabama. Slave was a surfboard company in Australia. We were on a weekend break and he only had one clean t-shirt left. In the foyer, I noticed it and he went to put on a dirty t-shirt.

I don't know what are you local laws, but in some country the rule is to have both hands available to drive. So the use of phone, cigarettes, sandwiches... or cookies while driving is prohibited. So yes, driving while holding a cookie in your hand can be illegal.

Our just barred from being a person, as they clearly have no humanity.
Load More Replies...And also she will "defiantly" take action. Perhaps she should spend more time with her nose in a book and not in other people's business...
Load More Replies...Ooo, racist AND sexist in one go. Honestly, women can be "the enemy within" just as well as men can :-)
The woman's whole argument is just dumb. Being a Muslim and wearing a burka doesn't affect someone ability to drive. Even if her husband was the 'enemy within' that doesn't make her the enemy or affect her ability to drive. Add the fact that woman doesn't want it shared means she knows she's in the wrong. As-salamu alaykum crazy lady.
I think she was probably referring to Muslim countries where women cannot drive or have lost that privilege because of Taliban/ISIS/ISIL or whatever radical group is the terrorizing force st the moment…. I wish folks would just sit down with each other and talk instead of following the racist herd.
Load More Replies...The argument makes no sense, her husband could still be the "enemy within" whether she wears a headscarf or not.
I am almost more offended by the sexism that just the husband could be the enemy
Load More Replies...How about undefiantly taking action? How about not being such a total k**b, you sad-a**e no-license s**t-wiper? - love, The Enemy Within.
sorry but trash like this deserves to not have their name blurred out , they need a good public shaming
P.S. This is (kind of) a joke. I have dark humor.
Load More Replies...It's really embarrassing that we have actual adult human beings in our country that are this ignorant.
I am totally offended that Uber would allow a racist to ride and that she is allowed to speak while doing so. If she ordered an Uber anyone should just drive away upon seeing her (photo here) and cancel her order immediately. Her husband could very well be the enemy without. We should all send a formal complaint. Further more if she posts any complaint or shares that complaint with anyone, Uber should take defiant action.
"Berka" and "defiantly" says it all. Though she might actually have meant "defiantly" instead of "definitely".
She shouldn't have posted it, I bet the customer will DEFIANTLY take action /s
Depending on whom you ask, female Muslims are not. Their prophet Mohammad thought riding a horse or camel would arouse them due to pressure on their lady parts and imposed a ban. Some Muslim clergymen interpret the rule to apply to driving cars and bikes as well.
Load More Replies...Furthermore, she's not wearing a berka(spelled wrong) she's wearing a hijab... what a dumba$$
Fool can't even spell "burka". Love that this person shared and posted with everyone against her demands.
Well, 1. They didn't dox her and 2. I totally would have doxxed her and let her take action.
Load More Replies...Ok Karen! Your move as driver defiantly posted your comment, so let's see you defiantly take action. And to driver, I hope this is not common reaction where you live. I really want to believe the majority of Americans are decent people who do not automatically believe, ah, who am I kidding?
You know, I worry about how some demographics are treated by white Americans. How many rude interactions are there? I went to a middle eastern grocery store recently to pick up a hard to find ingredient. The cashier looked middle eastern, the kind who could get harassed by a Karen like her. But he didn't act at all like he was resentful of white Americans like me. He barely spoke English, but he helped me find a couple things, and he was really friendly and even gave me a couple peppers for free. I like to think that he treated me that way because other white people have treated him with friendliness, helpfulness, and respect, and rude interactions have been either zero or so infrequent he knows it's just a random angry crazy dipshit.
Load More Replies...Working with the public is trying at best. You didnt desearve that. Just tell yourself she was ignorant and just a miserable person. Hope you enjoy your job and the majority of your clients have better manners than this cow.
There is a difference between definitely and defiantly. Shame she doesn't know it.
The woman is wearing a hijab, not a freaking burka. Ignorant douche.
I mean she has the right to cancel as many trips as she wants for the reason she wants... and the company has the right to charge her for it... but why message a person to complain about their race and attire? terrible human.
People and Businesses DO NOT realise, that for many many years now, they can land on so-called "red-lists". They are definitely real, and while not as pervasive, now due to the internet, do exist! The same applies for good customers. I have been a customer at a pretty upmarket store for 20 years and i still grin when the system pops up the alert "Remember to call Mr X by his name" as they use my store-card, since, one day, I jokingly said, "Mr X is my father, just call me by my name". To this day, other customers in the line to the cashier think I am some kind of royalty in that store, it cracks the wife up every time.
I think she meant definitely, but in her case, defiantly works well.
'My question is why you-' we need the rest of this response!! But- horrible racist idiot who can't spell.
The offended woman is the enemy within. She is not only offended, she is offensive.
Wow I would like to slap some sense into her. I had some lovely Muslim drivers.
bro i know why you put this here,but make a seperate one of the most b***h-a*s karens and put this in it
Personally I'd be more terrified if an 84 year old geriatric pulled up in a Cadillac circa lifeboat with compressions socks on since 70s cars with airy brake lines couples with loss of feeling below the knee and slow reflex times means we will probably narrowly miss the minivan and take out an electric pole or two all because my driver tried to turn up the heater and couldn't see over the dashboard.
Wow. What an ignorant idiot. She didn’t even spell burka right and the driver was wearing a headscarf anyway.
Furthermore, I know I’m a piece of 💩 who’s in the wrong, because I don’t want anyone to find out I said this.
Typical... the karen doesn't know that is a hijab, not a burka. THIS is why birth control should be free
...isnt a muslim woman's headscarf called a hijab tho? i might be wrong but i thought a burka was smth else
You’re correct, this woman is just so ignorant she doesn’t know the difference.
Load More Replies...Oh no a small group of people out of a very large religious group perverted the basic understanding of their religion let's black list the people as a whole that'll show them... SMH
Well if it were a true berka wearing Muslim woman she wouldn't be able to drive. SAFETY is a concern. Especially to female riders. There is no way to identify the driver is who they say they are. Women go missing in this world to faux uber drivers.
I would share that with everyone in my contacts and then shoot her a line and just say that one of them was a lawyer just to see what she says next had to do that with a family member shut them up real quick
me if i was there with them: YOU ARE GOING TO BRAZIL, the lady: AHHHHHHHHHHH (obviously not the muslim like what did they do wrong? respect for the uber)
"if you post this or share with anyone I will defiantly take action" too late girl, too late.
A headscarf is a far cry from a "berka" for 1 thing, for another, her ignorance shows not only in her attitude, but also her amazingly pitiful attempts at spelling-- which happens to be one of those red flags we're warned about to help recognize scam emails from foreign countries and terrorist recruitment cells🙄🤔 Maybe SHE'S the ENEMY withOUT [an education 😀]
It is so sad, that some people judge others, while knowing nothing about them or even that they have ever done anything she or he might not like.
HeR hUSbAnD COulD bE tHE eNeMY wIthiN!!1!!1! Is she saying she cant be ghe enemy within because shes a woman??! 🤔🤔🤔 all jokes aside, this is blatant fascism. Like y i k e s woman.
My favorite part is when she declares that she will defiantly take action. Karens are the true enemies within, definitely.
So I assume she is defiantly walking her butt where she needs to go?
Ps. It's BURKA not berka but then it was a right berk who wrote out the complaint.
DEFIANTLY!!!!! the word you are looking is DEFINITELY peabrain. Get over yourself. Go ahead and report her you bigoted fool. Her husband ISNT the Uber driver. Some people cannot see further than the end of their noses. When are people going to stop pigeon holing others.
I don't think it's even legal to drive with a full burka? It's the blue one with the net over the eyes, so I'm quite confident that they'd obstruct the vision of the driver. Also not so sure if someone wearing a burka would get the permission from their husband to drive, but I might be wrong.
Load More Replies...All religions are fictional. You can hate the muslim religion, but you need to respect muslim individuals. You shouldn't discriminate or harm anyone based on their beliefs, but you can question and mock those beliefs.

The Audacity Of This Guy
One tiny scene in a movie most people never saw, “Joe vs the Volcano” immediately comes to mind. Early in the movie, Tom Hanks (who plays Joe) works in the basement of an uber-depressing office building, and every day has to pass by a large round handle (for water? Steam? F**k if I know), with an equally large sign that says “Do Not Touch”. As his own personal passive-aggressive act of anarchy, he repeatedly makes a point of touching it when he passes it. Every. Single. Time. And that scene has stuck with me ever since I saw the movie—-in 1990, so 30 years. BTW, the warning sign is total bullshit, since absolutely nothing happens when he touches it.

Load More Replies...I once tried to get arrested for doing pointless misdemeanors while tipsy at a gas station when a cop I knew pulled up to get gas. First I loitered, then I solicited, then I jaywalked, I told the cop I was drunk in public and he just kept laughing so I went and laid over the hood of his cop car with my hands behind my back and he told me to go home so then I thumped the hood and told him I damaged government property and then I told him I was guilty of disorderly conduct and when that didn't work I pinched his nipple while he was in uniform and told him to arrest me for sexual assault and then laid back over the hood of his cop car and told him to handcuff me...all while wearing a minidress. He wouldn't stop laughing no matter what I did. It was the darndest thing. It's not fair really. Trying to get your street cred up is hard when the cops won't ever arrest you because they say you're too much of a goody goody and don't ever commit real crimes. ☹️
