The best part is those same people are also the same ones who will retweet 'firebomb a Wal-Mart' but never firebomb a Wal-Mart and expect someone else to do it. Like my dude when was the last time you fist fought a CEO, hampered the system, etc?

Nobody smart enough to get away with arson is going to post that they did arson online. Maybe you just didn't hear about the attempts.

Have you seen humanity at all when it comes to social media? People literally upload crimes on the daily. As far as not hearing about them ok I can give you that but at some point it starts getting tinfoil hat territory.

My point is the people telling others to go out and do violence are never the ones to do it themselves, it's the moral justification of someone who has never been in said situation but feels the need to criticize others for not doing the thing they won't do.

A whole lot of Walmarts have had arson attacks lately, they only make the local news because the sprinklers kept the whole store from going up.

As for folks talking big and not doing anything, some of that is self preservation. Arson is one thing, a riot is easy to escape but assassins don't usually get away or succeed nowadays.

At some point the desperation of the people reaches a point where fear of imprisonment and death dont hold them back like they do right now.

Talk big, show everyone that they are not alone in these feelings and when things pop off don't hide from what you advocated for JOIN THEM!

See you have more faith in that regard for people than I do. Being online you see a lot of big talk but little action, people wanting to be viewed a certain way bit not really living up to that standard they present.

Binary choice is binary, because capitalism inevitably decays into fascism.

There is no third way. There's no lasting stability or justice to be found in class society. It's way past time to wake up from such comforting delusions.

Weird how people are consistent about reality. Zoom out a little from your selective historical myopia and smell the impending doom.

I was going to waste more than ten seconds on you but that last line really gives the game away. If you're making claims like this after witnessing the last decade you're about as reachable as any MAGA cultilst.
