This is fucked

If it makes you feel any better, they have done this before. And this time the people in charge are idiots. Look up Black Wall Street, the firebombing of MOVE headquarters, killing of Fred Hampton, all that stuff. This is not new. It used to be this way a lot of the time. It's just in a new form now, more systematic, with a ton of extra strengths and a few new weaknesses, compared to the way it came before. It's like Pennywise. I have no idea how this time will shake out, I am afraid a little bit. But it is beatable. My concern is actually a lot more about what is going to come after, than it is that all this shit show in its current setup is indestructible.

It's frustrating because back in August, when ICE went into DC people in Chicago were doing the whole anime boy butterfly meme going. "Is this MaRSHall law? What's happening to America?" It was frustrating they ignored Los Angeles from June and didn't know about martial. It's frustrating because Chicago had three fucking months to prepare and learn and they didn't. It's still frustrating because we in LA keep reaching out to different activists to help there and hear nothing back. They have some excellent moments but they are not at all organized.

edit: I think the worst part of this story is he went back to sleep. Didn't know to call rapid response. Didn't have a clue about reaching out to community defense. Just was like... welp. Zzz. Smgdh.

Hey there. Not trying to get graphite on my device. What's the pdf?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

It is a handbook for resistance against a dictatorship, pretty famous among resistance movements worldwide because it was built on actual extensive study of what does and doesn't work in a whole lot of worldwide situations both successful and not.

This talks more about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Dictatorship_to_Democracy
