    Yet few Americans do. They just make memes and posts.

    Everyone’s waiting for a critical mass but that’s not going to happen posting on the internet. That shits like pop up internet ads in the 90s. Study the Mafia, organized crime, and war and then you’ll understand the task at hand.

      i think in this sense memes like this might even be detrimental, because they set the bar so high, barely anyone will take a shot.

      you dont need to kill police or politicians, probably throwing your life away, to make a difference. just find whatever horizontal organisations are providing for needs and building dual power in your area and join them.

        I agree, I just want people to think it’s okay. If the two extremes are “kill all cops and politicians” and “kill all poor people and minorities,” then a equitable middle ground where we don’t kill anybody and tax billionaires out of existence and repress cops into being friendly servants is a good compromise.

        I think lots of people saying “good, who cares” to the CEO assassination was good, and should be applied liberally.

        My point exactly. I never claimed to not be part of the problem. I’ll man up to that shortcoming any time. That’s how I got the wisdom to understand the problem of how nothing ever gets accomplished. Admitting to myself the truth.

        I think you’re both right, it’s easy to be the internet tough guy, but until the protests are out your door you should be making a praxis network. At least I think that’s what they mean about organized crime
