Trump’s narcissism is more or less a wild card.

love to see it

Hey OP can I repost this article on my site? Will credit you ofc https://erikhoudini.com/houdini_blog/

That military victory against true guerrillas is possible seems doubtful on the basis of modern experience, barring the use of methods approaching genocide,

War of the Flea, pg 26

“Clear and hold” operations, patterned on the French oil-slick technique, failed to remedy the situation, for the obvious reasons. The “clear and hold” strategy is always doomed to failure because the government, while strong enough to clear any given area temporarily, cannot hold many such areas without dangerously scattering its forces. In the face of a determined “clear and hold” drive, the guerrillas simply withdraw and redouble their activities elsewhere.

War of the Flea, pg 86

All reactionaries are paper tigers. In appearance, the reactionaries are terrifying, but in reality, they are not so powerful. From a long-term point of view, it is not the reactionaries but the people who are powerful.

Take the Ultra pill, reject reformism. You have been watching a force of teenagers in adidas track suits with RPGs handling the most well funded and well equip military in the world, in urban warfare. You should be taking notes, Gaza is the climate plan, Cop City = Gaza Strip.

Insanity. “Write your representatives” The representatives in question:

Here’s what we should do:

take the video, when he pauses to think, cut in footage of the victims, then bring the main video back when he talks again. There’s so many horrific videos that can be used for this. The juxaposition would be jarring.

Each of these types of incidents needs to be amplified into propaganda wins that discredit the Amerikan regime.

Yeah, death squads would absolutely be spun up. Keep the military from getting their hands dirty.

Your first part is kind of why they’ve become known as anarchist tactics though, because it seems to me, and this might come off some type of way, that anarchists are the ones who are willing to take that kind of risk. And sometimes you just gotta take that risk, I feel. I mean, it’s putting benches up. You can make them with wood, and you could probably do a bunch in the afternoon. And maybe they get taken away, but you just build new ones. I mean, hell, in LA there was a group of people who were doing crosswalks, and the city started removing them, and it caused a bunch of problems in the media, because people were like, why are you removing these crosswalks? Why didn’t you build them in the first place? And then it became a propaganda win, which is what we need.

I’m also really glad that you guys are doing that GED stuff. I think that that is a winning strategy, a winning move. You know, I think about my own father, who had to get his GED when he was like 23. And, you know, he’s kind of like an apathetic Gen X conservative, and I wonder if that could have been, way back then, a kind of starting point to make him not that.

Lets not get hung up on semantics though!

Not a bad idea, I still need to finish Women Race and Class by Angela Davis.

Something I consider when I think about, you know, a potential PPW, Party Rockin’ type scenario, whether it be in the US, France, or elsewhere, Germany, what have you, they’re depleting the tools of war at a rapid pace. What are they going to do when they run out of these things? All reactionaries are paper tigers, baby.

Furthermore, we’re currently watching a group of young men and women battling it out with the most well-equipped military force in the world, backed by the largest empire in the world, dudes in fucking tracksuits, with flip-flops and an RPG, handling business in a corridor that won’t look too much different than Santa Fe, New Mexico. Really makes you think.

And I have a feeling, the IDF’s operational tactics, the loose goose, shoot em if it moves, carpet bomb em to nothing strategy, it wouldn’t work in Atlanta, it wouldn’t work in New Orleans. Something to think about.

Fair, fair. I only went with that because the orgs I’ve worked with in the past, IRL, whether it’s, FoodNotBombs, or putting out fridges and food and stuff, they’ve all been very explicitly, yeah, we’re anarchists. Which, which is cool, but limiting, to say the least. Fractured and limited. (We need a Vanguard)

I fully agree, I just like to phrase it like that because I feel that type of mindset would click for a lot of Americans (non-commies), because Americans are all about “we’re gonna get on the gridiron and we’re gonna win! we’re gonna get the touchdown, we’re gonna be the Super Bowl champs”, but ironically no one else plays in the Super Bowl but America, so we’re always the Super Bowl champs. It’s just a perfect analogy.

Any other Americans kind of tired of like How pathetic we’ve become? It’s like We’ve given up on winning. So we’re just gonna take the ball home “No, you can’t play. We know we will lose and we’re not gonna try to get better.” We’ll just stop playing the game. We won last season so we don’t need to play in season two. It’s pathetic, it’s lame. It’s Disheartening, you know at the very least during the Cold War we competed. You know? The capitalists put their all into it. Oh, we’re gonna go to the moon! You want to go to Venus We’ll go to the moon. We’ll do something to compete with you. To show you that we have some gumption. We don’t even have that anymore. And that’s just sad. What de-industralizing does to a mf. Century of embrassment for the US.

I feel like dating apps have set this weird precedent where you meet someone and you immediately have to decide whether they’re someone you want to date/ ave a relationship with or if they’re someone that you want to be friends with but in my experience the people that I’ve dated have typically been people I was friends with and then it kind of naturally just becomes a little more romantic and a little less platonic.

I can’t help but feel like that was how it was before online dating became the norm… You know, you become friends with a woman/man, and then maybe it becomes a little more than that, and if it doesn’t, I don’t see why you still can’t be friends. Just make it very clear that if one party isn’t interested in the same way as the other party, it’s up to that other party to come to terms with that, and as long as that other party can come to terms with that and move on and not be like, “well, you know, you’re the only one for me”, then I don’t see what’s wrong with this logic.

Why not?
