Still wondering, are leftists just going to share memes or is this suggesting we start building bombs? The message I keep getting is that voting alone doesn't work, that liberals, even liberal protests, don't work, that peaceful resistance doesn't work.

So like... Who here is actually thinking of blowing something up or assassinating someone? Are we just talking big while looking around for someone to move first?

Even then, where are the Luigi copycats? If we are so much more effective than liberals, why the hell aren't we doing anything?

the circles of people organizing and making plans, and the people talking about it in random surveilled spaces form a venn diagram with no overlap. even as the circles of people present here and the people who are fighting in meaningful ways probably do have overlap

Where are these people? I don't see them here but I just don't see them anywhere. No buildings have blown up in DC, and the people we see who have attempted an assassination are loose lone wolves with conservative/ non-aligned backgrounds. Yes, even Luigi.

Please, show me evidence of an American black hand.

That's the catch-22. They're apparently around, but nobody can talk about it because if they do they'll ruin their opsec or whatever.

So how do we even know it's real. Nobody has done anything to indicate that any real resistance exists. They could put up flags or do some kind of public thing that indicates there's a resistance out there. But nope. Nothing.

And I don't think people should be blowing up federal buildings (unless they're empty of federal workers who are 99% just normal people). Not only is that just wrong, but it would do nothing but hurt the cause in the eyes of the rest of the country.

I have no idea how big or growing they are, but if I did and stated evidence here I would be doing them a massive disservice. Even right wingers don't talk openly of their plans for violence despite nearly having a free pass in comparison. Are you just trying to get people banned or something?

Or maybe the simpler answer is that they don't exist.
