“I happen to be against it because it’s illegal” do we a Letter from Birmingham Jail sticker for this lib

I happen to be against it because it's illegal

Death to America

the reddit comments "why are they robbing lulu lemon, liqueur stores, and apple stores. you cant get good resale value out of that stupid criminals"

its almost like they recognized that these businesses offer negative value to their communities so thats why they are targeted. dumb fucking liberals. i know i know going on reddit is self harm, i wont do it again.

Uncritical support, death to Amerikkka, death to foot locker.

It's really weird that most, of not all, advancements of the welfare of the proletariat in America came about through violence and not peaceful protest.

I just think it's neat.

It's just a shame that it was expressed this way. We need major social democratic reforms and avenues for disenfranchised people to exercise political power so these kinds of desperate actions don't disrupt our lives

i think we need actions that disrupt our lives. Specifically the lives of the oppressor class. Direct action gets the goods

I want us all to reflect just a minute,

On all that it took just to get one convicted.

We voted, we won, but we still lost the Senate.

Turns out it don't matter who we got elected.

We rallied, retweeted. We let it get heated.

We called out this country and the whole world had heeded.

No matter how filthy nor hilly or chilly,

Millions had marched in hundreds of cities,

Just to find a single U.S. cop guilty

Of a murder we all watched on Instagram.

mobilizing this many people is the result of invisible forms of organizing, not neccesarily legible to the "left" whose traditions cross-polinate with the professionalized activism of ngos, labor unions and political parties.

Encrypted text messaging programs are pretty cool. I'm kind of in aww at how quickly theses

"I saw a bunch of people like go into the Lululemon, clothes everywhere,"

Oh, the humanity!

A total of 52 arrests have been made so far, police said Wednesday. Of those, 49 are adults and three are juveniles.

Shit. : (

Copping whatever charges they're going to throw at all these people over some yoga pants and iPhones sucks. : (

Shit like this is red meat for the libs and chuds that think crime is on the rise and that cities are warzones.

8$/HR in 2023? what the fuck? how can you even live?

There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.

acknowledge that mobilizing this many people is the result of invisible forms of organizing

This is unfalsifiable even in the best possible light. I think there's a strong possibility this is more spontaneous than organized, and more opportunistic than political.

In college like a decade ago I was spending like 1200/mo in a studio apartment in Philadelphia that was smaller than the bedroom I'm currently sitting in. There was hardly any maintenance done on the place, there were giant roaches, my shower was broken for like 3 months where you couldn't actually turn the water on in it basically forcing me to live elsewhere. That's what you got in a semi-decent part of the city but not ritzy part. Can't imagine it's any better with rents skyrocketing with wages not budging.

We need major social democratic reforms and avenues for disenfranchised people to exercise political power so these kinds of desperate actions don't disrupt our lives.

cute

Lol why are people upvoting this
