While they aren’t wrong, it can come off with that same energy of the “firebomb a wallmart” meme. I’m not such a fool to think protests and riots are the be-all-end-all. Mutual aid networks, organizing workplaces and buildings, boycotts, etc will sometimes do more good than a flash in a pan that gets any revolutionaries present arrested and out of commision.

I think we are maybe on the same page here. While in almost every scenario you should be looking for actions that aren’t violent, if the situation calls for violence, that is what you should do.

Riots in response to the scotus decision that the president of the united states is more or less a god king…I feel like that is a justified response. Obviously planning needs to be done, and the other things you mentioned should continue to happen in tandem. I can see how the comment came off as “firebomb walmart” but I really don’t think that was the intention. Maybe I’m just a tad ultra, idk, its just hard to know what the correct response to any given situation is.

For sure. I’m like, rent got hiked an extra $120 and I’m currently the only one employed in my household. If I’m gonna find myself in a jailcell, it better be for something more than breaking a window or ripping down and burning the rows of American flags currently lining my streets. For what US politicians are doing in Gaza, those corpulent fucks should be fearing for their lives, but not sure how much that could accomplish in the long term, ya know?

Fair enough. Tbh I generally imagine a freshman “anarchist” expecting other people to either do an adventurism or nothing, while they continue to just sit around. But to my knowledge there’s no “useful idiot” meme.
