“The grassroots resistance that has rocked the US since Trump’s election isn’t the work of paid or professional protesters—nor, by extension, of George Soros, the supposed “puppet master” of the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories Trump is referencing. It hasn’t come from the Democratic Party,the non-profit sector, or the various socialist splinter groups.
Resistance to Trump has come from ordinary people taking action on their own terms without waiting for leadership or instructions. It has come from the same people who breathed tear gas in Ferguson while facing down a militarized police force to defend their neighborhood. It has come from the tens of thousands who survived freezing water cannons and rubber bullets at Standing Rock to block a pipeline that Trump is now trying to railroad through. It has come from those who risked their lives to confront the KKK in Stone Mountain and Neo-Nazis in Sacramento. It has come from the people who disrupted Trump’s inauguration on January 20th, who shut down airports on January 28th and 29th to defy Trump’s Muslim ban, who shut down Milo Yiannopoulos on February 1st.
All of these efforts were organized horizontally according to broadly anti-capitalist and anti-authoritarian frameworks. It’s not just a few people in masks: the spirit of the times is anarchistic. […] Anarchists are among the only ones offering a clear vision of another way of living. In organizing networks and community spaces around the world, we come together to assist each other in meeting basic needs and building the collective capacity for self-defense. In neighborhoods, workplaces, and schools, anarchists are fighting gentrification, police brutality, and exploitation while creating inclusive alternative infrastructures for survival. Across bioregions, we are organizing to protect our drinking water and the earth.”
– Who Are the Anarchists?: Why Resistance Is Coming from Below
Fuck those Berkeley anarchists. That would have been a peaceful protest if they hadn’t shown up with the explicit intent of making trouble.
YOU ARE NOT HELPING
YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM
By discrediting people who want peaceful change,
YOU ARE SERVING THE INTERESTS OF THOSE YOU CLAIM TO OPPOSEActually, fuck you. The Berkeley shutdown raised the profile of Milo enough for media to dig deeper into his politics. That in turn unearthed and exposed his perspectives about sexual relations between adults and minors, what ultimately has been his undoing. If people had let him out undocumented students at Berkeley he’d still be touring campuses with credibility.
They made the shit worse. Get over it, punkass.
Self serving mother fuckers.
Uh, since the protest at Berkeley:
- Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos Resigns Following Outrage
- Milo Yiannopoulos’s Pedophilia Comments Cost Him CPAC Speech
- Simon & Schuster Cancels Forthcoming Autobiography
Nobody wants to give him legitimacy right now. That’s a win. Please come back when you know what you’re talking about.
*Berkeley Anarchists stop a violent racist piece of shit from speaking and harming undocumented students*
*resulting media coverage further reveals violent racist as piece of shit*
*violent racist piece of shit loses platforms to spread his vile racist shit*
*Most Berkeley students approve of the actions of Berkeley Anarchists*
*Berkeley College Republicans find that the platform for their racism is shrinking quickly*
Liberals: “violence doesn’t solve anything”
