Maybe a bit doomer but when talking about channeling energy into alternatives to electoral politics in the imperial core it's hard not to feel like you're hyping up someone with a broken back walking up to try and deadlift eight hundred pounds

    Fuck bombing a Walmart, there's food inside. If we ever get around to firebombing capitalists it'll need to be the mouthpieces first, news stations.

    That said i only do it in my dreams right now. But what dreams...

      Also firebombing the average Walmart would burn the vestibule and maybe the built in McDonald's. They don't have many windows. If you want to be inside a building you firebomv it could work but would also be an extra level of stupid.

      Edit: Also if your first target is news stations in 2024 you're a bit outdated. Telecom stations, and also I'd hit the military nearby at the same time.

        Not sure i want to go against the military lol, first, not liking the strat of bringing a molotov to a gun fight. Secondly if you start blowing those guys up they'll definitely forget we're fellow citizens and on the same side when the govt sends them out to quell the "riots"

          If you bomb media outlets the military is probably gonna get involved regardless

            Indeed they might, officially. After the local police fail to be enough. But one involved, the grunts actually with their fingers on the trigger have thoughts too.

            Just look at bushnell for an (extreme) example. Last thing you need is to remove guys like that from the equation. You want solidarity and men following orders because of an attack on their own? Not to mention an easy rallying cry for our allies not in green (many who are poor and likely to have enlisted family) to get behind?
