> Simply owning a destructive device described in it is a "Federal crime of violence".

Umm... citation? Please cite the specific section that says this, since I am not finding anything that confirms this.

But even if you can cite it, you are still wrong. No one said anything about owning an explosive. The question was explicitly about teaching, not about owning. The citation you gave was about teaching. You then claimed that "intent doesn't matter", when the very citation you gave explicitly says intent matters.

> Therefore, any audience viewing and using the tutorial to make a destructive device is committing a "Federal crime of violence".

This is just laughably absurd. Do you really not think I could make a tutorial without actually owning a bomb? You have never seen a recipe? A written tutorial? Hell, even if I taught you in person and walked you through the process, I could do so using fake ingredients.

> And, therefore, you would be in violation of the law knowing the information you provided was used to create said destructive device.

You have never learned something simply for the sake of curiosity? I have watched videos and read tutorials on many things that I will likely never do.

> It's a whole lot of cyclical lawyer speak basically making anything about bomb making illegal.

I think it is safe to assume that you are not a lawyer?

Simply providing the information DOES NOT show intent.

> It would be easier for the Federal government to prove you provided the education knowing someone out there would use it illegally than it would be for you to prove you knew every single person that obtained the information would not use it illegally.

Yes... Which is why if the intent did not matter they would not explicitly write it into the law that it does.

Your argument is just incredibly stupid. It literally makes no sense at all for them to include two very specific clauses about intent if they mean it to apply universally. They would only be providing a possible loophole that people could get out of.

And of course if you are right, then Amazon is very publicly in violation of federal law.

Did it?

I remember reading someone's story about how he was in his college's/military base/whatever chat rooms shortly after the Oklahoma City bombing, where I guess either students were making edgy jokes about it or were sharing The Anarchist Cookbook (or both). From what I remember, some serious punishments and orders were handed out to all of the involved students.

I think I also remember another guy (it might've been here on Reddit) talking about how a lot of edgy kids were sharing edgy jokes after Columbine on AOL.

I'll admit that I was either not around or way too young when these events happened, so I sort of have to look at archives/stories/whatever to get a better picture of what everything was like at these times (which, honestly, aren't too far off from what I experience as a young modern-day guy). Still, even in the infancy of sites like YouTube, I still remember fiery shit storms in the comment sections.

This would be the one.

It's perfectly legal and still in print.

Here it is on Amazon

Here it is on Barnes and Noble

When I was a teen I read the anarchists handbook. That sub looks nothing like what I read. What is this weird sub masquerading as anarchism? Honestly, there's almost nothing anarchist about that sub. What am I missing here?

Edit: Ah the Cookbook. My bad, I read it about 15 years ago. Definitely worth a read. https://www.amazon.com/Anarchist-Cookbook-William-Powell/dp/1684111374
