I’ve been radicalized decades ago since I was a teenager. I don’t need more evidence, I’m exhausted, I don’t even feel like fighting. Not when the people don’t deserve our sacrifice. Let’s focus on protecting ourselves, if a critical mass begins to wake up then we can start to move in the direction of resistance.
You still need a critical mass of followers with the right sentiment. The ground needs to be fertile. It’s just not there right now, and those that were radicalized in the last 10 years, they radicalized on the side of fascism. Sacrificing yourself for acts of resistance right now would be purely a symbolic gesture, you’ll be left hung out to dry. Just give it time. But if you want to pull a Luigi I’ll be the last one to stop you.

Waiting for the revolution to “just happen” is the best way for it not to happen at all.
Violence you say?
Communes, mutual aid, Unions, cooperatives… And yeah, violence too, only if its necessary.
Is it necessary now?
You don’t need me to tell you. You think is necessary?
What constitutes necessary? I guess that’s the crux of the question here and why it’s difficult to pin down when people think violence is acceptable.
Yeah dude, why don’t people talk about the laws they’re going to break on an open internet forum?
I think that that ambiguity is good. It call to reflect rather than just obey and do whatever everyone says is acceptable.
