You’re absolutely right about the coming reaction. There will be a reaction, and it will be focused on the people who are least prepared to defend themselves (because fascists would rather pluck the legs off of spiders than fight fair). You’re also right about adventurism. It is often counterproductive. Edpecially in a society where the media is dominated so completely by the bourgeoisie. The propaganda of the deed rarely (though not never) accomplishes as much as the resulting bourgeois blood libel.

That said, we need to be careful about blaming whoever did this for the backlash which follows. The backlash is the fault of nobody but the people giving and carrying out the orders. The worse the backlash is, the more justified the original assassination probably was. Collective punishment was a cornerstone of the Holocaust. Collective punishment is not the prescription for lone wolf terror attacks.

If this is an actual case of left adventurism we should emphasize that these actions indirectly impact millions of lives. This is not a fucking game. Liberals treat politics like a game. We know better. On the other hand, we’re staring at societal collapse on the horizon and spontaneous shit like this is only going to become more common.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
