DC last night:

it’s more likely in the next few days that the fash will take the streets, especially as trump announces how he will contest the election. after all, chaos is his best bet for getting the powers that be to allow him to retain power without a fight. so don’t fucking tell people to stay home. it’s absolutely critical that everyone pays attention to what’s happening in their own backyards and steps up to engage in appropriate community defense.

the election is just a stage. stop confusing it with the conditions that compel people to act.

I honestly just don’t think you guys have the numbers. I literally said it on my last post but fighting for pride gets you killed. Good when you have a million foot soldiers and life is throwaway. Not when every single person, every mind, every bit of energy is a precious resource.

Tactically it’s a bad move. Organise and strike with overwhelming force at the heart of their groups then scatter before they can make sense of it. Their numbers count for nothing against organisation. Demoralise them, taunt them with fear and paranoia. Head on confrontation will only end with such a huge loss for the left. You’d be giving them justification for a slaughter and Liberals would just make you the scapegoat for their own political convenience.

you guys

that you think we’re separate says everything…

fighting for pride

I’ve already responded with analysis of the situation elsewhere in this thread. I suggest reading that if you think this is about pride.

Organise and strike with overwhelming force at the heart of their groups

no shit. and sometimes they try things before you’ve successfully dismantled their groups. if you allow them to beat people with fists, they’ll come back with guns next time. let me tell you which I’d rather deal with.

I’m not American. I appreciate the points you’ve made. It comes down to whether you think you’re fighting as resistance or against an invasion. I think what many here are perceptive too, as bad as it is too admit, is that it’s already to late to fight on certain terms. I honestly don’t know the answer to that.
