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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
Here's what I learned from 2020:
Highly visible protest in public space: huge police presence, violent counter protesters, unable to build pressure to force change. Human Cost: 2,000 people brutalized, gassed, and doxxed.
Direct action by dedicated, anonymous covert operatives: inhibits, delays, and frustrates the state and it's ability to repress dissent. Human Cost: A couple of people throw away some incriminating clothes, lay low, then move on with their lives.
I've been saying that since 2017 lol
It's probably easier to keep a clean record doing the 2nd than the 1st too
About to write up a longer post about this but small group direct action tactics can help build up capabilities for larger actions. Remember that the basic unit that makes up the black bloc is the affinity group or cadre cell.
Yeah well put. I'm obviously not the first whose thought of it
Sorry Lenin, turns out we also need professional black bloc 
Are you suggesting the direct action specifically during periods of protest or as an alternative?
Direct action by dedicated, anonymous covert operatives: inhibits, delays, and frustrates the state and it's ability to repress dissent. Human Cost: A couple of people throw away some incriminating clothes, lay low, then move on with their lives.
Uhhhh, the 60s and 70s seem to suggest otherwise. As does the early 1900s.
Yeah, the surveillance state comes for us all. What I was mostly getting at is that large demonstrations only succeed at getting violently repressed
What was going on simultaneously with the nonviolent protests, Mister Ferrix Junior?
Nonviolent protests are not a cargo ritual which summons their necessary counterpart.
A strategy of bourgeois historians and analysts is to make us feel we should be satisfied with going out and declaring our beliefs.
BTW I'm not just referencing the MLK Jr. nonviolence bias over BPP that many lib historians have where they try to downplay the necessity of more active resistance against oppression.
The explosion of the Bandung decolonization movement was critical as well, which is often left out in favor of mentioning the USSR's existence forcing the first world to maintain social services and welfare.
not based enough (no roast pork)
Gone but never, ever forgotten. Rest in Power, Willem van Spronsen.
Vehicle involved combustion
"15 Police Cars Critically Overheated Last Night"
15 police cars malfunctioned following a combustive situation after activists were forced to apply an exterior gasoline coating to the vehicles
The vehicles were filled with gasoline, a preexisting condition. It’s not the arsonist’s fault that their health was failing
