It is true that targeted assassinations wouldn't work though. Every ghoul can be easily replaced with minimal disruption to the system.

Eco terrorism like blowing up pipelines may yet work

I'm talking like a lot of targeted assassinations. Make the average life expectancy of an oil exec measured in days

The point at which it's enough assassinations to work is the point that it stops being targeted assassinations and just starts being a revolution.

That's my kind of slippery slope

Sure, but that takes a lot more resources we don't yet have built up. Sabotage, however, results in damage that is potentially more lasting and can be achieved by isolated individuals and groups, like what has been happening in Atlanta as police crackdowms on the Stop Cop City protests have intensified.

Gotta remember we already tried propaganda of the deed. It had some practical problems.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
