    Yet few Americans do. They just make memes and posts.

    Everyone’s waiting for a critical mass but that’s not going to happen unless someone starts it.

      i think in this sense memes like this might even be detrimental, because they set the bar so high, barely anyone will take a shot.

      you dont need to kill police or politicians, probably throwing your life away, to make a difference. just find whatever horizontal organisations are providing for needs and building dual power in your area and join them.

        I agree, I just want people to think it’s okay. If the two extremes are “kill all cops and politicians” and “kill all poor people and minorities,” then a equitable middle ground where we don’t kill anybody and tax billionaires out of existence and repress cops into being friendly servants is a good compromise.

        I think lots of people saying “good, who cares” to the CEO assassination was good, and should be applied liberally.

        My point exactly. I never claimed to not be part of the problem. I’ll man up to that shortcoming any time. That’s how I got the wisdom to understand the problem of how nothing ever gets accomplished. Admitting to myself the truth.

        I think you’re both right, it’s easy to be the internet tough guy, but until the protests are out your door you should be making a praxis network. At least I think that’s what they mean about organized crime
