@guerrillarain Good luck! You'll do awesome.

"All that’s holding them back from joining in active resistance is a sense of isolation, weakness, and despair. In this context street fighting and vandalism are not so much proofs of method but statements of commitment and seriousness. There are others like you who are willing to fight, and we can hurt them, or at the very least we can shatter the air of invulnerability that pervades business as usual. It’s hard to overstate the psychological effect this can have on those who feel ground down or fenced in."

"Property destruction is not violence in any substantive sense. To use the same term for vandalism as direct physical brutality is an Orwellian pollution of language that cheapens real violence and suggests that people are equivalent to things."

@paulfree14 @jd it has been called to my attention that @rechelon 's essay You Are Not the Target Audience addresses this subject excellently, and says pretty much exactly what I want to say - https://humaniterations.net/2012/02/29/you-are-not-the-target-audience/

I'll just add that clarifying the distinction between violence against people and destruction of property should be a top rhetorical priority.

@paulfree14 @jd I always find myself immensely frustrated at times like this by the lack of distinction between voilence against people vs the destruction of objects. Property damage is nothing compared to harming human beings. Cars and windows are just things but capitalism and its apologists care more about those things than about desperate people fleeing injury and death.

Bringing up the mass-scale horror that the world's "leaders" and their governments are inflicting on the daily is 100% relevant and necessary context beside the images of destruction resulting from these protests.

@AliceinCrystalTokyo 😱

@guerrillarain I did karate for years for the pure fun of it. Buffed defense stats are a good bonus, too. I'd say the most important thing is that your sensei teaches in a manner that you enjoy.

There is glitter on my bod and I dont know how it got there.
I must have gone to Pride :3
