This post uses a gift link, but some people do seem to be prompted to register. I can’t change SF Chronicle policy about that. They also have a history of sending lawyers after people who post archive.today links to their articles, so whatever you do, don’t plug the URL into that site.
You haven’t been paying attention have you? The government wants violence to justify them taking away more rights and gaining more power. Everything they’re doing so far is under the made up emergencies because of made up threats. These actions can be challenged in court.
If there were real violent actions they’d have real power not the phony power they have now based on phony claims of violence.
Who’s side are you on? The things you’re saying serve to help the fascists. One unhinged loner does violence and you get what? Another Charlie Kirk kind of thing? What did that accomplish?
Right now it’s a time to organize. Not organize online, that’s bullshit since the powers that be mostly have control over. Organize face to face with people in your community. If only there were some event happening where people could do that…
The Charlie Kirk thing failed not because it was violent, but because it targeted someone who was ultimately a nobody who held no real power. Target people who actually have power and we’d have much better results.
No it won’t. That just gets someone either killed by the Secret Service or put in jail for the rest of their lives. And you convince a lot of people that a crackdown is justified.
Where are you from, Russia? Iran? Why are doing this idiotic stochastic terrorism bullshit that obviously only makes things worse for everyone? Maybe you’ve just been influenced by foreign troll farms to talk this way. But it’s stupid and will only get people hurt with no positive political outcome.
Gotta love you libs always go for “must be a Russian troll” when people point out these tactics fail. I was born, raised, and still live in a massively red Midwest state surrounded by dipshit conservatives while my parents were center-right Dems. There’s not an ounce of love in me for people who just do performative theatrics over actual hard work like directly fighting ICE agents even when assholes like Obama were in charge of them or being loud and obnoxious outside the homes of government officials at any level or when they’re out trying to eat dinner with family.
