Except, what everyone seems to be ignoring is that those buildings literally aren’t filled with the evil dudes. I was born in DC. Those buildings are almost entirely empty, and there are always multiple orders of magnitude more tourists in and around them than there are potentates. Most of the most powerful people in the country don’t even live in DC most of the time, because they’re rich enough to just fly in whenever they need to, or drive in from nearby states, where they have massive mansions. I’ve spoken my peace in a different reply which you are welcome to read, but torching DC is an inane idea, tantamount to screaming and breaking a plate so you can feel like you’re helping the situation.
Don’t get me wrong, we here in Lemmy have got the screaming part down. However, any revolutionary effort that doesn’t go toward either mutual aid or grinding the system to a halt is, ultimately, ineffectual.
