oh yeah u make some excellent points there. especially over his politics. i think i agree. it would obviouly be pretty awful if a member some small communist or anarchist group did it, the repression would be terrible. it being this guy is perhaps a good thing. but maybe also in terms of drawing some of the right towards the left. because like reactionaries are often kinda close (in a fucked up way) to identifying the the problems,but their analysis is bad and leads them towards reactionary solutions. and this tendency is massively abused by the right wing "thought leaders" who just lie to them constantly. when i've managed to talk to people with reactionary politics and managed to remove some of their brainworms, it's because i manage to find common ground with them in some small way and build on it, go through the process of correcting their analysis and offering real solutions rather than lies. they feel unjustly wronged, and they have been. just not by the people they are told are responsible.
like this local farmer guy i know. he was never a full on reactionary, and tbh he's actually such a lovely guy. but he was falling into a lot of conspiracy theories, and into the trap of thinking that because the "left" is in power here, and they've basically abandoned rural areas like this, that leftwing politics can't help us. but you know, we agree that the government has failed us and that all politicians are evil. we agree that climate change is coming for us. that's something to build off, and we did. and i haven't heard any weird reactionary takes from him in aaaages.
despite some of the libs being all moralistic about it, it's also delightful to see that many of them, people from all sides tbh, are just celebrating what happened. it creates an opening for the left to step up in an outreach sense.
but yes he should never been caught. and tbh i am not convinced they're not just framing this guy. but something like this has to be planned meticulously, and if they do it right they won't be caught. which is kinda why i'm so suspicious of luigi getting caught. he left no useful evidence basically, seemed to have planned everything pretty well. and then just goes into a macdonalds and gets caught. if there are any similar lone actions inspired by this one i hope that they are never caught or known. and yes the left must organise, both in trying to make use of the ideological opening this creates, and in terms of direct action. not necessarily murdering people, but using a diversity of tactics. perhaps including propaganda of the deed, since the public reaction to this seems to have been so positive. but whatever the case,
don't. get. caught.
my next tattoo, i have been planning for a while but some recent events have put it on my mind a lot, is "kill your heroes", something i very much live by.
that would suggest the rich people are feeling terrorised rn
silver linings i guess
well i hope the jury have been fucked over by health insurance
