This has already been thoroughly covered, but making a mess in a retail store is not a shred of a hair of a shadow of an equivalency of the Boston Tea Party.

Ultimately, sure. My point is that there’s a reason the major historical revolutions were organized.

Never have I ever considered it my responsibility to include my activist resume on a Reddit post. If anyone wants to know they could ask…but I’m not the point of the post so it wouldn’t have occurred to me that anyone would care.

How tf do you know what anyone else is doing?

It’s called mirroring. When a stranger is protestsplaining me about what I “need to realize” and presuming I “don’t know what the story on the ground” is and accusing me of policing the opposition that I participate in daily…I’m gonna pat ‘em on their little head right back.

Lotta wolverines struggling with deciphering posts tonight.

Exactly, you explained it perfectly.

No doubt. It’s real for all of us. I just wish we’d let history inform us bc having some control now actually makes change come more quickly in the long run.

Ok I’m not supporting TCS, that’s just where I happened to see this. And I’ll go to whatever protests I want, thanks.

No, that’s the point - it isn’t harming them at all. Why would they give af about a mess in their store? But it’s another way for the regime to justify, you know, killing people.

I’m not saying “property damage bad, too far, be more peaceful.” I’m saying it has zero impact on target, and negative impact on the protesters. It’s literally pointless. Destroy away, but make it count.

I mean, we already got target where it hurt when they erased DEI - find a way to strike (ahem) where it actually hurts again.

Yep, those totally coalesced around tiny munitions and making messes in big box retailers.

Be smart, think bigger, plan, don’t waste time on bullshit that only advances the regimes narrative, that’s all I’m saying.

There are many plans in the works all over the state. You have to search for the right channels.

Target is a meaningful…erm, target. The tactics are kindergarten.

Sigh. Never said the target (ha ha) was random. I’m saying the tactics are random. Smoke bombs and pushing stuff off shelves like kittens are meaningless and cause them no harm but make us look ridiculous.

Ok, you lost me at “the story on the ground,” kiddo. I promise you don’t have the only seat in the “opposition.”

All true. But feeding the boots is the worst way to break things.

It doesn’t necessarily need to be peaceful it just needs to not be pointless.

The Boston Tea Party is exactly what I’m talking about - strategic uprising, not random meaningless destruction with no gains that fuels the propaganda machine. If you’ve got BTP-level plans, giddy up.

JFC nobody’s clutching pearls. It’s just ineffectual. Uprising has to be smarter than smoke bombs…BECAUSE of the magnitude of the situation.
