Throwing a few molotovs don't do anything.

Either you do it completely peaceful and try to sway public opinion;

OR

You have to have to actually have enough guns and people on your side to start an armed insurrection and go all the way, I mean like french style, all the way to DC

A half-assed riot is worse than either option.

Historically you are wrong, though. Mixed pressure has value and can be effective... But surely you know that, right?

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 13 points 1 day ago

When the riot cops show up, take your protest somewhere else. Play hide and seek with the fuckers, targeting the oligarchs one by one, all through town.

They can be strong somewhere. They can't be strong everywhere. Keep them moving, keep them chasing you around.

You don't even need to revolt.

Just having a fully-armed protest is enough. Cops are pussies when there's a credible threat of violence.

fully-armed protest

Until you go home for the night then they raid your house when you're sleeping and shoot you to death, individually to each of your houses, one by one.

Or just do this. (Now they even have autonomous drones, skipping the the possibility of a human refusing orders)

A show of force doesn't mean anything to them unless you are willing to use that force. Don't threaten action, skip directly to doing the action and surprise them. Don't tell them your plans before executing the plan.

Yes bever forget the curage they shiwed fulled armed abd outnumbering the shooter at Uvalde. They stood around fir 90 minutes and did nothing.

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

True.

A friend of mine was a cop for two years in Kansas, and a major focal point of their training is personal safety, which is why you see cops doing nothing in so many of these clear emergency situations. They're trained not to be a hero.

Yeah the most police forces have rule 1 "make it home at the end of the day". We have had police officers fired for not shooting unarmed suspects because "he could have been and that put his fellow officers life in unacceptable danger"

Combine that with killology as one the main way police are trained. You are in enemy territory and every is willing ready and able to kill at any time and the only way you will survive is if you are willing to kill faster. Of course we have a lot a police that are tirgger happy and see everyone who is not police an enemy.
