Probably the saddest sign of our times is how many people respond with complete bewilderment if you mention direct action. Cutting border fences? punching nazis? sharing resources? blocking arms transports? building alternatives? They’re not even outraged, they’re just confused.
It’s like they’re so caught up in the spectacle of petitions, calling senators, ‘awareness’ and media visbility that they’ve completely forgotten that you can also just do shit without begging for permission.
Round up of the saddest responses to this post:
- “Order and due process are important things” (WHY?)
- “But it’s illegal” (no shit, Sherlock)
- “There’s nothing worse than being sued by a Nazi and having them win” (remember those pesky nazis and their scary lawsuits in the 1940s…)
- “Or you could vote.” (so so effective)
