@ElvisMcLevis @DanielFooksArt there are still people who consider themselves real journalists, dedicated to telling what they believe to be the truth. It’s hard for them though.

@ZarahnSouthon direct action and social movement are about the recreation of society. Society has been taken from us. There has been a 40-year campaign to destroy attachments unmediated by the state or capital. This is the only way to start rebuilding it.

@inside_lemon @nikadubrovsky oh right monstrations. They’re satirical spoofs on the idea of a protest movement against the bleak seriousness of post-Soviet life. They have slogans like “we cannot be stopped because we don’t know where we’re going!”

@xuholland @VergilDen I guess what I’m saying is I would hardly recommend it as a tactic, but people I respect have employed it with surprisingly little injury on either side. Molotov vs someone who ISN’T in flame-proof armour? That’s just setting someone on fire! Supervillain type behaviour.

@xuholland @VergilDen properly speaking they tend to either be used to destroy vehicles, or to slow down or drive back cops in flameproof armour – the latter obviously still risks injuring someone & I wouldn’t do it myself, but I don’t know of riot cops being seriously hurt in S Korea, Oaxaca, etc

@maihrtin @MYMATEMAX1 @Chomskyter I live in London and the people you seem to be referring to ARE the ones who got arrested. Why is it that people who start their tweets with “lol” or “rotfl” are always so predictably stupid?

Wed 3 Jun 2020 01:03

@xuholland @VergilDen well, myself, I wouldn’t be in favour of burning anyone alive, even evil people … unless it was the only way I could stop them from doing it to someone else at that very moment.

@girlziplocked “I mean c’mon guys! We’re from New York! We don’t do none of that hippy-dippy California shit like putting cottage cheese on pizza, or setting fire to police cars!”

@girlziplocked yeah and the cop totally believes what he says when he says that an anti-cop movement is a good movement. I like the play on New York-California rivalry. That was clever!

@trotskybaby When was the last time you heard of a cop beating up a lawyer? Like… ever? Even though most lawyers are incredibly annoying & even people who aren’t thuggish psychopaths often wish they could just smack them. Do the math.

@Itsnotadistrac1 I bet it was. i bet it was a totally legal legitimate citizen’s intervention against a criminal blockage of traffic.

@trotskybaby yeah but the question is what happens AFTER THAT. Shoot a journalist, you just get a cool video of yourself being tough you can show to your drinking mates. Shoot at a lawyer…

Tue 2 Jun 2020 22:28

@tap2k @dead______souls it’s a very interesting question what will happen. They are lawyers, after all.

Tue 2 Jun 2020 22:24

@ordinaryfreak69 @VergilDen it would be one thing if there was someone in the van. I should make very clear – really shouldn’t have to, but I will – I am really not in favour on setting anyone on fire.

Tue 2 Jun 2020 22:22

@dead______souls sorry I just think it’s strangely wonderful that two corporate lawyers were trying to torch an (empty) police van

@bkgpeters @harshacoach @nikadubrovsky It was good but very bleak. A universe where solidarity is impossible

Tue 2 Jun 2020 19:24

@FalcoSydney Dems don’t want to win. With Trump the Dem leadership get policies that benefit the rich (themselves) and they get to feel morally superior every three hours. For people like them that’s paradise

@cold_slow The point is that people who claim to take Gandhi most seriously are usually shocked to learn what he actually said
