RE: https://mstdn.social/@mcnado/116569433904891963

Voting is a suggestion. It's basically the equivalent of a bouncer saying, "hey buddy, now would be a good time to leave." It can be ignored. If a bouncer gives up after a suggestion, they're a shitty bouncer.

A bouncer should start knowing the whole escalation path they might take, from suggestions, to pressure points, to physical violence. You also have an escalation path. Perhaps you're already carrying out simple sabotage or other resistance. This is like a bouncer gently pushing towards the door to make the suggestion more persuasive. Sometimes this is enough.

Sometimes belligerent assholes ignore simple persuasion. If you aren't expecting that, you aren't really preparing.

You should consider your next moves. #Boycott or economic blackout, #GeneralStrike, and #TaxStrike are escalations. Get in the streets and stay there. This is like a bouncer putting someone's arm behind their back and moving them.

Sometimes people try to slip out of that and fight back. Imagine if a bouncer just let themself get pummeled because they weren't ready, even after the belligerent asshole telegraphed it. A lot of bouncers take martial arts, not because they use it as a first response but because they want to be ready for those edge cases.

Armed revolution is like a bouncer getting down to brawl and calling in their buddy with the zip ties and bear mace. It's not something anyone starts with, or anyone wants to escalate to, but some people can't take a hint and are incapable of doing what's best for everyone.

Always know your next step (even if you hope you don't have to take it).

Imagine if a bouncer was just like, "oh, I asked him nicely but he told me to fuck off. I guess the creep who's punching random people and pissing in the corner runs the bar now."

Society celebrates assholes because society is run by assholes and they need to continuously validate their assholery lest the decent people of the world finally cast them to the wolves.

We need to cast these motherfuckers to the wolves.

We do so by no longer revering them, working for them, paying them with our money, time, labor, lives.

We can't organize around such a thing - every individual must choose to no longer participate in an exploitative system.
