I truly hope this is the case. If the resistance insists on non-violence then industrial sabotage on a massive scale is a long overdue starting point

You forgot the 60% or so who are simply enablers

“Everyone needs to drive a vehicle, even the very tall.”

They don’t blindly support it anymore- now they knowingly support it.

April 1994. I was thirteen, at a sleepover with friends, playing Starfox on the SNES when my friend’s older brother told us he’d connected the home computer to the phone line.

No Prodigy or AOL, this was something different- more raw and BBS-ey. We started messing around and figured out how to join a local chat room- I have no idea now what they were called back then. There were maybe fifteen people in there, all with William-Gibson-ass usernames.

We were eating pizza and Sour Patch Kids, just fucking around, typing and watching the others. Then someone in the chat said, “Hey, turn on the TV. Kurt Cobain’s dead.” We flipped on the TV and sure enough, there was Kurt Loder breaking the news.

Very vivid 1994 moment.

If they feel safe leaving their homes, you’ve failed.

Can you blame her for recognizing and turning her back on a harmful patriarchal religion that victimizes women and children and turning to… Islam? Yeah, I can.

HUH. Okay, fair enough.

No. Show your work.

I have been educated today.

Fuckin’ weird move, Sinead.

Sorry, are you insisting that people from other countries need to come save you from the thing we’ve been telling you for decades was going to happen?

You’ll be protesting correctly when you effect change.

Showing up is not an end in itself

This is just about the most on-brand thing I can think of for “the resistance.”

Absolutely, yay this particular death. Some deaths are righteous.

Fuck his friends and family.

I lived in the states for about 6 years and left around 2005 for the same reason. Every day since, I’ve been increasingly grateful to be out of that fuckin place.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not a bad call.

As for your second point- in this situation is it acceptable or justified? Fuck no. Is it tactically the correct move, given what these pieces of shit are trying to accomplish? Yes.

Oh, it absolutely is. I’m not saying the attack is by any means justified.

Flawed?

I would take enormous offense if this comment wasn’t dumb as hell

To be clear, FUCK Israel-

but if you’re going to do this, this is the way to do it. War is hell, and the objective should be to do whatever is necessary to bring your opponent to the table for surrender or negotiation as quickly as possible and avoid a prolonged engagement. In any other era we wouldn’t even be discussing this.

Again, though, for those in the back- fuck Israel.
