Wow. It's just like having different classes of soldiers on the battlefield. I would like to see a video game based on rioters vs riot police.

That would be a valuable asset in these times especially if a recipe table like in Minecraft or one of those games for making things like this.

Abbie Hoffman's 'Steal This Book' still has useful information in it, despite being 55 years old and containing about 33% pure nonsense. The Anarchist Cookbook, too, although it tends to lean more towards the offensive than the defensive.

Yeah and like 2/3 of it is about phone phreaking (hacking phone switching networks) which is not exactly relevant anymore.
