Learned about it from this episode of the Team Human podcast
But what is happening in Hong Kong is they come up with a slogan, which is translated as Do Not Split, which is, we know that some people are willing to be confrontational with riot police.
And when they are, that’s going to cost the state in terms of not only resources, but it’s going to cost the state in terms of political capital and support. And we know that there are some people who are not willing to do that. And we are going to abide by the protocol of Do Not Split, which means that we’re not going to criticize them openly, and they’re not going to criticize us openly.
If we’re the pacifists, we’re not going to have them criticize us for being sort of like, I don’t know, limpid or flaccid or not courageous or whatever. And we’re not going to criticize them for being more confrontational. And the thing is that the support is also tacit.
It’s not like they have to come out and tell the media, oh, we approve of our more sort of confrontational colleagues. They just keep quiet. They just keep quiet.
Understanding that a range of tactics is probably going to be necessary. Nobody really knows what’s going to work. But if everybody’s pushing back against a particularly violent state, then everybody’s really on the same side.
Being disabled does not stop morbidly obese MAGA from practicing at the range.
I’m also disabled and still make time to shoot. Tired of reading excuses from my team on the Left.
And there’s NOTHING wrong with being critical of your own team. You all just aren’t used to people being critical of you, because we are infested with people who are always pearl-clutching pathetic losers.
I’m a double stroke victim! I cannot operate a gun! I can barely fucking walk, let alone fight.
And in fighting fascism, specializations are necessary! No military is made of exclusively combat roles! Let me keep recruiting and agitating. It’s what I’m good at and it helps the cause.
Apologies for riling you up like this. You are correct.
When you discredit publicly to the point you tarnish reputations to the point of changing electoral decisions that help fascists win, you’re complicit in that.
We can hold ourselves to account to be better, but being more critical of like minded folk than fascists is dumb. We apply pressure where it’ll be effective, such as primaries or selection contests so the best candidates win.
People across the world are overwhelmingly voting in people who are pro Christian fascist. I dont know how else to drill this into all of your lazy pacifist minds that this shit doesn’t work with them, they (fascists) only respect violence
Me?! I’m not in America.
What have you done in this regard?
You’ve learned nothing.
You’ve taught nothing. Great job contributing to this discussion. /s
