    Good sentiment, but bullshit quote. Fanon only indirectly criticized peaceful protests.

    Here’s a real Fanon quote:

    “Colonialism is not a machine capable of thinking, a body endowed with reason. It is naked violence and only gives in when confronted with greater violence.”

      Dude was in literal torture prison like a month ago, I will forgive him actually

      The chill homeless guy on twitter I would steal memes from who is now “leaving the left” ehhh not so much

      Hard days for reposters, the slop is too sloppy

      Also I got a laugh out of the gandalf slop meme & other people poking fun at me on here. Yes I have been driving constantly & I am exhausted, completely phoning it in, this is a very dumb post. So of course it got way too much engagement for no reason at all

    There’s something inbetween. Anti consumption, Anti work, general strike (which is still forbidden to call for here, wtf?), open source everything, community, mocking art.

    All this only helps if you are many. If you start to burn mansions because you are only few, that makes domestic terror.

    You can be peaceful while protesting if you are stopping the world from ignoring the problem. Stop the money from flowing and the business class will be forced to pay attention. Adding debris to track/road is not violent and will absolutely work. Cause them more work than it takes to protest. That’s how protests succeed.
