@enby_of_the_apocalypse they have limited budgets, equipment, skills, and political capital to expend, so making it harder can prevent them from winning
@foolishowl@enby_of_the_apocalypse I think we need more small fast autonomous groups but also people to understand momentum and committing to a movement so when one group sees an opening, everyone swarms. Cops are heavy and slow, and if we armor up the same then we're going to only increase the violence they use while forcing direct combat that has higher penalties. Hitting a col vs smashing a window for example. I suspect light infantry style (helmets, hard gloves, goggles) protects against most of what the cops do so a charge against a line gets a lot less scary, but we don't sacrifice speed and agility. This means the vanguard that slams the line first can fully commit. Often the front bloc hesitating kills momentum that could easily overwhelm the cops. Idk. Maybe you have a different idea of calvary than me
I'm all for antifascist investigation, but at some point this numerology shit is just pointing out coincidences.
In some alternative history, Musk renamed Twitter to Z because he thought that was the cooler letter, and these people would be saying things like "Oh, like Zyklon-B?"
Liberal antifa QAnons saying shit like "the ASCII code for X is 88" when Musk pretty clearly knows nothing about computers and probably just thought X was a cool sounding letter.
@abolisyonista That site has always given me bad vibes. Just pure aggregation with no filter? What purpose would that serve other than centering oneself?
@PallasRiot Wondering how much of this is related to the automation of white collar jobs (via AI) and the growing on-demand services and manual labor needed for "faux-tomation" and such. Some of this might be what you described, some might be populist workerism, but some might also be an anticipated change in the distribution of labor and shrinking middle class.
@ramonita - https://crimethinc.com/zines/dropping-out - "No! Against Adult Supremacy" has tons of writings that you might be able to thumb through and pick ones that seem most relevant - the podcast "The Child and Its Enemies" may be indirectly helpful. Can't recall any explicitly anti-school episodes.
@richpuchalsky@CedarTea just to rhetorically compare, this is the opposite of Michelle Obama's "they go low, we go high." I get that the comparison to sports makes things seems less serious, but also north American English is packed full of sports and military idioms. I think the phrase is valid, but whether or now progressive society is willing to follow through is another question
@ApostateEnglishman Can you describe what specific threat it is would be addressing? I feel like this is covered by the distinction between demo and burner phones
