Not civil disobedience, but I agree. Unfortunately creating communities is probably a bigger ask than getting arrested in a protest.

I’m doing my part.

Everyone sits on multiple spectra for what they care about, and where their thresholds for acting are

Right, so what would push people over that threshold now?

Some coordination is good, I mean distributed as in anybody with time/means can join, even if they aren’t near a population center.

Not against the idea in spirit, but that’s not distributed and not feasible for many people who live far from corporate HQs.

Well, that’s part of my point. Everyone who stopped eating at Chick Fil A stopped 10+ years ago, everyone else doesn’t care. Anyone willing to boycott is already boycotting, and they can’t boycott any harder until we have a method of acquiring necessities from somewhere else.

Right, that was just an example of things anyone with a couple friends could do locally that would still accumulate at scale.

Yeah, that’s kind of the idea, like starting a trend of sabotaging multinational companies that have warehouses and logistics all across the country. Anyone near one could be inspired and do their part.

That’s true, but at the same time, aren’t most people already boycotting what they can? I think anyone who feels bad about supporting shitty companies are already avoiding them when they can, and if they can’t, well there isn’t much more to do until we hit mutual aid networks.

The concepts are good, but in a system perverted from justice, you cannot trust the laws to be enforced correctly or legislated properly. Like how copyright has been perverted into virtually nothing entering the public domain for a couple generations thanks to Disney.

sorry I was agreeing with you, just adding a quote about how “binding” only works for what the law says should be bound

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

you dont need to kill police or politicians, probably throwing your life away, to make a difference

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.

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

Hate speech aside, feds that encourage a system “of the people, by the people, for the people” are okay with me.
