Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
And here you see the real problem. You confine yourself to thinking that the options given to you by the bourgeois class are the only options. Have you considered there is more to political power than voting? I doubt the so called "root causes" you're thinking of can be changed, at least in America, so if you really cared about harm reduction maybe try joining an org, volunteering for food not bombs, supporting pro Palestine protests etc, and these are just the mildest forms of direct action. Those madlads that smashed up the elbit factory did infinitely more to help the people of Gaza than you voting for biden ever will.
Your proposed solution is violence against a private company instead of voting and having a rational discourse within the established societal system? I should give up voting to become a terrorist? Wow. Much intelligence. So smart.
Why not? You said yourself the president doesn't have any real power; you may as well vote for your cat.
Also those guys aren't terrorists, they were trying to stop a factory that produces weapons for a country that's literally involved in a genocide.
Go have that rational discourse from Gaza; charge your phone and stream your opinions on twitch.
This has been attempted for quite a while to no awhail. Since this was not listened to, violence is the necessary next step
Yes, causing damage to the bourgeoisie is more effective than picking which bourgeoisie is in charge of the two available options, and its how every civil right was won. Sabotage is one step above strikes, and dragging a factory owner out of his home and beating him to death is only a few steps higher on the "listen to us or we're not playing" scale
Oh Jesus fuck. Just get out of here lib
