    Yet few Americans do. They just make memes and posts.

    Everyone’s waiting for a critical mass but that’s not going to happen posting on the internet. That shits like pop up internet ads in the 90s. Study the Mafia, organized crime, and war and then you’ll understand the task at hand.

      i think in this sense memes like this might even be detrimental, because they set the bar so high, barely anyone will take a shot.

      you dont need to kill police or politicians, probably throwing your life away, to make a difference. just find whatever horizontal organisations are providing for needs and building dual power in your area and join them.
