      Same as when people united together and burned down a police station in Ferguson. 60% of Americans supported burning down the police station in the days after.

      Adventurism/Direct Action can have majoritarian support when done against unjust actors; however, the more violence the less support over time typically.

    Ramírez issued a plea on her Facebook story, saying, "The sooner they're heard, the sooner they'll let us go. Help me share, we are well physically. Help me help them be heard," according to the news outlet.

    Even the hostages are like "ok yea we get it and understand."

      If you're:us-foreign-policy: enough and act relieved to see them, they'll probably even let you get within throwing range

          I dunno. Hawaii is a 8 hour flight from reinforcements and every billionaire has a house there with giant pictute windows.

          If anybody can pull it off our bruddahs to the west can. tie bill gates to a chair and lower him into a volcano.

            Yeah no need for defeatism. If these comrades in Peru can do it so can we. All we need to do is optimize the strategy against the US military in particular. Their extra strength does not make them invincible or less worth fighting - its just that resistance has to rely more on trickery than facing them head-on (especially thru tampering with technology). Once that's been mastered they're historically known to be fish in a barrel. Imagine one day pushing them off the island.

            Nope, there is 100% a large enough force on-island to kill us all, as well as the world's strongest Navy. Fuckin hell, about 1/4 of the population is active duty military!!

          So would the Peruvian army.

          The key differences are size and funding, really. These villagers have a strategy, we just need to find ours.

      Ángela Ramírez, who was among those taken hostage on Thursday while traveling by boat near Cuninico in the Loreto province of Peru, told local media that those taken captive include elderly people, pregnant women, and a one-month-old baby.

        Lmfao even some of their communists can't override their own Yankee automated targeting systems. Once their stress/anger hits a certain level their failsafe kicks in and displays a flashing red message "KILL MORE CIVILIANS" across their vision :amerikkka:
