And let's be clear here that calling shit like vandalism "violence" is oppressor shit. Shooting protestors in the face with rubber bullets is "non-lethal" but spray-painting FUCK PIGS in a cop car is "violence"

Yeah, when I say violent I mean things that can easily be portrayed as violence or destruction of property. Unfortunately not many people get their news from multiple places or even read the whole article so giving people half-truths in the form of misleading titles and wording isn't too difficult.

ehhhhh... Even destruction of property I'm personally not crazy about labeling violence. When oppressors do violence against you they're not smashing windows or whatever.

I don't think burning down a Wendy's is praxis but it damn sure isn't an assassination or tear gassing or murdering cops and shit.

It also accomplishes literally nothing

Worse actually, it's counter-productive

Wendy's gets an insurance payout, locals get put out of the job

The only winners are corporate
