3.5 million people turned out yesterday. Not one Capitol building stormed, not one police officer attacked. #handsoff

Maybe it demotivates you personally for whatever reason, but for most it just points them in the right direction.
All it takes for a strike to happen is a coordinated labour boycott.
If a general strike day is organised and a lot of US workers, unionised or not, pledge to do the strike and tell other non-MAGA workers, it can still happen
Now sure, the conditions are different here, with broad dissatisfaction.
But you should be wary of many calls to violence. Lone wolf Luigis are good still ofc, as well as the french.
It means keep kidnapping hands off Visa students, loving fathers, peaceful protestors.
It means keep violent hands off queer people of every age.
It means keep malicious hands off disabled people's benefits.
This time, All of Us.
All of Us. Period. When you see a condemnation of genocide, ultranationalism, and authoritarianism, assume it includes you focus. Don't let fascists sow wedges. 🍉🏳️🌈
What I do see are slogans like 'Hands off NATO!', posts thanking police officers, and the proud waving of the genocidal US flag.
Also... um... Rhodesians...? What?
ACAB/XIIXII all day, everyday. No cops at Pride, no corporate mob protection wanted, ect.
As much as I dislike NATO's lackluster inaction and deflection, the goal is not a destruction of NATO, but leveraging political capital and being courageous instead of placating autocrats.
I always stress strikes over protest.
But, unless you’re planning on going all the way 🇫🇷 (conditions not right yet), or pulling a Luigi (conditions right), dont do any kind of violence, dont fall for COINTELPRO.
They do not get it. At all. The aesthetics of the thing were not the issue. Resistance is cool.
Attempts to subvert democracy are not cool.
It's very important to hammer them on their weaknesses and not focus on their strengths.
Theres a possibility one of the Capitalists whose wealth he tanked will finish him beforehand, but dont count on it
like I thought the guy was making the exact complaint you were implying he was
ofc this is a different time and the world has changed a lot. also people should always protest all the time regardless of efficacy or expected outcomes.
i do agree the lib apple-polishing is cringe but also feel like dismissing it entirely is just willfully anti-materialist. conditions change folks!!
Except for state resistance. That always has to be super peaceful to be morally correct apparently
