Allowing perfect to be the enemy of progress is how we got 47 in office again. Every. Single. Nation state. Commits war crimes. All of them. You (and a shit ton of other puritans) need to manage your risk model better. We need to do what we can in the face of injustice and electing warmongering Republicans into office ain't that. We can't negotiate with them. We would have been able to negotiate with a Harris administration.
Alright, guess we should pack it in. Failed the purity test. Can't make progress this time around folks, maybe next time we'll find a pure enough movement.
(I didn't see ANYTHING about Hands Off being pro-war or pro-Israel. But I guess not explicitly saying it's ANTI those things, means they're pro? Get the fuck outta here with your black and white thinking, asshole)
Bold claim. I'll tack onto that and say cats don't belong in cities.
Why not both? We need to be hitting the road running from as many angles as we can to get people mobilized.
More like techno-feudalism or techno-sharecropping than slavery...
Vandalism is an age old rite of protest against fascism. If you don't want to get your shit vandalized maybe don't buy shit from fascists.
Making someone a pariah for supporting a fascist - knowingly or unknowingly - only helps to erode the support of the fascist.
If they don't know what's going on, when they get their car vandalized they're going to ask why, then find out why, then sell it, if they have any moral compass.
Their stuff isn't damaged and can be easily fixed with a minor inconvenience. They're not being summarily executed. Calm down and let the people work.
