In response to the last post:
The "pigs" are not enemies of revolution, and they are not enemies of resistance. They are however, soldiers for the state, the only thing that stops them from being or enemies is that they are human, underneath the aviator glasses and uniforms, they live, breathe, and sometimes even care. For that reason alone, there is the off chance that if you show a "pig" your compassion, as one human to another, they will return that compassion.
I am an EMT and work closely with police, many of them are stupid and ignorant and are in fact "pigs", many are not; they are mothers and fathers and liberals who make a living by enforcing laws, whether they agree or not. I also go tp protests and have seen the brutality they are capable of, in fact my close friends have been beaten, this does make me lose respect for them, but to slash an officer's tires who has not done anything to you is simply creating an enemy out of a human being. Don''t get me wrong, I'd wouldnt have any problem with someone slashing a cops tires if that cop had been harassing them or at a protest where there was police violence, but to do it indiscriminately just makes our task as revolutionaries harder because it is a senseless act that divides us further.
"If we had more people like you, things might be different."
yeah cops would have shut it down a long time ago. How can you say thanks for "standing up for our rights"?? You dont have the right to slash any tires, much less a cops. You live in the US, you deal with the fact that we employ police to enforce the law, and yeah it sucks, but it beats the military or even worse, private militias, so just shut up and deal with it and resist in a consructive way. We can't "smash the state" as the rate we are progressing, but we can convince the soldiers of the state that we are descent people.
