   Other than doing a couple of glitterbombs on cops years back, I've been known to utilize other out of the box ideas to try to stop fashies from doing their fashie shit. I've used Vaseline on solid smooth surfaces & covered with some dirt. Then watched some RCMP goons slip & fall on those spots that I set up. I've used reflective emergency blankets with high beam flashlights & spotlights to screw up RCMP night vision glasses - giving them headaches, eye pain & forcing them to retreat.
   There's many of out of the box things you can do that isn't super high risk & is still effective in stopping or delaying armed fashies/cops.
   Sabotage like that is very doable & it doesn't take too long to rig up. Get creative with your direct action activism 👍

     @CatDragon @beadsland @PhoenixSerenity Doing good things imperfectly or irregularly is still better that doing bad things. ❤️ (Or doing nothing.)

     @beadsland @PhoenixSerenity @GinevraCat I try to be hopeful but I’m old and I’m tired. Add in the folks here who insult boomers for sport and I just can’t some days.

     @PhoenixSerenity @GinevraCat @CatDragon

     This being what radicalization is.

     The gradual realization that the roots (the radices) of all this run much deeper than the world as it is today or we imagine it to be tomorrow.

     The recognition that disciplined hope is more about the actions we take now than any promises of better.

     @GinevraCat @CatDragon I once believed the world would be better, when I grew up. It did not get better.

     @GinevraCat
     I was a young teenager at the time. I'm more radicalized at age 50.

     @CatDragon We did spiderweb treesits years back to stop government from approving a bigger parking lot in middle of protected old growth forest. We had loggers try to come beat us up. I rigged up a huge spotlight on back of a truck. 6 of us in treesits rigged up bungie swings. We swung out from trees, like flying monkeys, in the dark while one comrade beamed spotlight on the thugs coming to try & assault us. They ran back to their vehicles & took off. We scared them. They didn't expect 6 flying beings coming at them - screaming like banshees the whole time. I do not usually do 'normal' direct action.

     @CatDragon I work with a team of veteran activists & we've been doing direct actions since the early 90s here. That's why some fashies here know me more than they'd like to. Fuck them all.

     @CatDragon We built some drone netters too & captured 2 surveillance drones with them. I also took an RCMP headlamp & a full mag with loaded 9mm bullets that some chump RCMP dropped after slipping/falling & running away. They refused to come to claim their shit.
