Calling arson heroic is embarrassing. Nothing about what he did helped anyone. It hurt the people who worked there and shut down any chance of actual organizing.
He could’ve put that energy into unionizing and building real leverage with the people around him. Instead he chose something that put others at risk and killed the one tool that actually works.
I get that people are angry and impatient, but cheering for this isn’t radical. It’s lazy. It hands critics exactly the narrative they want and drags attention away from the work that actually changes conditions. If people want real power, it starts with organizing, not celebrating a stunt that sets everyone back.
