Really? Explain that to me." And then random people I've never met before come away from our meeting with an expanded understanding of liberation politics, which is a positive thing in my mind. I also like 'declaring' myself to be of a radical persuasion by dressing in black and wearing combat boots and army gear, and one of the problems with that is that people can get the impression that you're some kind of fascist and by putting an anarchy flag or symbol somewhere on your person you can save yourself some grief from mouthy fuckers on the street thinking you're a neo-nazi blackshirt. That's exactly my opinion. If you know and can explain what the circle-A or the black flag means, then it's fine to wear it. In my high school, I saw one girl wearing a circle-A shirt. I just started talking to her, very basic anarchist stuff, and she knew absolutely nothing about anarchy other than that it was rebellious and the symbols looked cool basically. It's those people that shouldn't use the anarchist symbol.

I tend to dress sort of like the guy in my avatar.  Except Oscar didn't wear heels. Been thinking of getting a circle-a t-shirt. Nobody could possibly assume I'm some kind of chaos punk the way I dress.

My dressing style is pretty nondescript. I don't automatically look like an anarchist, but I don't look like there's no possibility that I'm an anarchist either.
Right now I'm wearing a plain white t-shirt, a slightly faded blue jeans and a black beanie... no one really assumes anything about be because of my clothes.

Cryingdady- just wondering, what does your signature mean? What's the significance of those TV programs?
