"Why aren't #Americans #rioting?!" "We need to #riot", Half of us are #brainwashed, 25% of us are trying to not #starve or go #homeless, and the remaining percentage is too #depressed or severely lacking #resources and #people. That is why.

#Peace, #NonViolence & purely legal #Protest has never ended #DeathCamps, #Slavery, #InternmentCamps. Only #Violence has worked. Only #Rioting has worked. Don't be fooled by #Trump / #MAGA / #GOP / #4thReich they'll invoke #MartialLaw even if you don't fight back. #Us #Uspoli #Politics#Project2025

#CivilResistance scholarship recommends #SocialMovements adopt a #nonviolent (NV) strategy for #SocialChange. The #violence analyzed is usually #ArmedStruggle, but it recommends NV in all tactics (thus excluding property destruction, #rioting, confrontation w/ #police). Benjamin Case's excellent "Street Rebellion" shows movements involving rioting are more likely to be successful, largely b/c riots lead to wider #CivilSociety participation in movements. Well-researched book!

#PeacefulProtest is being punished more severely in #Britain than #racist #rioting – that’s the real ‘#TwoTier’ justice
Compare the rioters’ prison sentences with those of #JustStopOil. How can our justice system claim to be blind?

How the far-right manipulate misinformation to create discord and violence.
An informative short video and accompanying article, from Tom Cheshire of Sky News: It explains concisely how a vicious but, to-date, unexplained - and seemingly motiveless - attack on children can be manipulated online *specifically* in order to raise angry and violent disorder.

#Trump stood on the podium in Milwaukee to sell nostalgia for his term in office. In fact, the Trump presidency ended in disaster, by many measures the worst 4th year of a presidency since Herbert Hoover’s in 1932: #pandemic, mass #death, #EconomicCollapse, #rioting, & a surge in #violent #crime. By contrast, #Biden’s presidency is delivering the best 4th year since … whose? Bill Clinton’s in 1996? Ronald Reagan’s in 1984? Calvin Coolidge’s in 1924?

Not limited to #white #supremacy.
#Tamil language bigots like MK #Stalin, CN #Annadurai, TT #Krishnamachari, Periyar EV #Ramasamy, and #Maraimalai #Adigal indulged in #linguisticCleansing to Make Tamil Pure Again and hasten the extinction of #Sanskrit.
They engaged in #militant rhetoric, such as language #imperialism and #enslavement, leading their followers to death by #selfImmolation, #poisoning, and #rioting while they themselves stayed away like #Trump did on #Jan6.

Police in France have arrested more than 700 people during a fifth consecutive night of rioting.But the French interior minister says the overnight violence ...
Hundreds arrested, 45,000 police deployed amid fifth night of French rioting -
"Racists want children to look at riots and think "They're violent. They're inherently criminal. They deserve whatever happens to them."
But if children learned the #truth #about the #history of #racism, they'd be more likely to think "Of course they're #rioting. I'd be rioting too."
And that's #why they don't want children to learn about the history of racism."

A fascinating book that I'm reading.
“Indeed, although you might hang out in it, how can a chain convenience store or corporate restaurant earnestly be part of anyone’s neighborhood? The same white #liberals who inveigh against #corporations for destroying local communities are aghast when rioters take their critique to its actual material conclusion.”

CW: news / pol, holistic justice, pacifist perspectives on direct action (long)
i'we writes this from unceded Santiam lands, where colonizers allow me to live in a lockable box, inside their exacting boundaries, upon a machine of thinking wires that burns my soul to interact with.
Today, it is time for i'we to write, and write i'we shall. Please pardon my brevity and bluntness.
Before you #riot, and there will be much #rioting, there are several things that i'we would ask you consider.
Yes, you, specifically, dear reader.
My message today is for you alone.Please take the time necessary for these words, expressed with deep intent towards better futures, to be digested by your mind into understanding, and strive to hear the understanding that burns in i'we to write so many words, in this medium, today of all days.
The first, being that direct action is meaningful, and aligning with others of similar values is essential in any venture, the next step, deciding on what you will do together and when to take those actions, rather than being driven to it, is the distinction between riots that work, and a terrorist attack.
Those are words which come charged with meaning. Please, consider that this is not my first language, and likely is not yours. Listen beyond what you hear with your heart. Listen with your mind. Listen with your body. Listen with your spirit, and let whatever you experience, be what it is.
When you choose to do something, do it well. Do it thoroughly. Do it with knowledge that it could result in some, or all of you, ending up dead. If you cannot make decisions in that sort of an environment, avoid riots, and work from the outside, learn the tactics that weaken and overload the system in the current local lens.
If you try to fight everywhere at once, you will be defeated. Choose where to burn your energy, and burn them you shall.
To those who burn out, alone and fighting for the last...i'we are one of you. Please know that you are never alone.
My words are said with heavy heart. Words are such impractical things. Especially across networks we cannot trust with our most vulnerable selves. There will never be the perfect victim, and you break the chain by asking "why" instead of assuming that your feeling of the moment could not lie. That which passes the test of skepticism and simplicity will stand the test of time.
All this to say, before we go further into my point, that i'we, the tessalation formerly known as the commonwealth of @jakimfett (@hackers.town, for those of you who are in to that), says the following things with *love and support to those of you in the shadows and in the streets, in support, and in functional, practical solidarity of action with those who are vulnerable in these upcoming times.
If your riot would burn down what someone needs for survival, please reconsider it.
Know who your damage hurts, and be ready to mitigate the worst of it.
And, if the billionaires of the world are hiding behind me, take the shot without asking. Balance future survival of our world with actions that destabilize things in your favour.
If it's something that we can fix, between us, reach out. That's how we get through this. Each from their ability to other's need, because 'interdependence' is something that is living on a scale much larger than me or you.
i'we says this with holistic intent towards replacing the #kyriarchy with something better.
Build bridges, meet needs, and for fuck's sake, start planting seeds.
i'we says this with hope that you hear these words as my full support, as an individual who disavows ownership and violences of all sorts, to swing your fists.
If your #pacifism is an excuse for inaction, you are doing the opposite of acting in peace and life...enabling war.
i'we hates war.
help i'we end it, for all of us.
fight better.
fight harder.
fight together.Learn to un-clench, let go, put away your armor and weapons when you are with friends, practice being vulnerable and caring, containerize your need to externalize feelings to protect friends.
Be self-aware, and know where your weapons, especially words, are pointed.
And please, kick all neo-nazis in the dick. My own patient way is compatible with your direct actions, and if you do your best, doing what you can do best, so will i'we.
That is how we get through this.
This is where we prove collectively that "never again" is now, and we can learn from our past mistakes.
Believe carefully, and be ready to act whenever your privilege could safely protect you.
To those who are angry, and waiting for a leader:
Seek mentors that you already know, and learn to lead yourself towards healthier life-acts.
Act together. Live together.
Take care of one another, across boundaries of all kinds, physical or not.Believe yourself, though not too much.
Disbelieve everything, though not too much.Talk to older union persons.
Please cultivate the ability to listen to people speaking about their experiences without being threatened in yours.Learn about and of the places where decentralized people have been allowed to exist, do your best to support them with your privilege and financial stability, and take their best ideas and use them towards bringing together your neighbors and the people with Sovereign right to the land you occupy.
Listen when people speak.
Digest and refine your own actions before expecting that of someone else.i'we, and you, will continue to make mistakes.
We will all become better for it, and learn, and acknowledging incremental and ongoing progress will cultivate a better future for us all, where blame-finding will destroy what we need for our most basic survival.
Grieve, today.
Grieve when your heart aches.But we get up again.
And we do our best.Keep doing what only you can do.
Refuse to do things that harm others.Believe in people, even if only a few.
Let go of the things where you no longer find meaning.
===

Republican Governor Pushes Crackdown on Rioting That Would Allow Drivers to Run Over ‘a Mob’ without Liability

“To condemn the #rioting—which I believe to be a moral and political imperative—is not at all the same thing as opposing the #protests. Many observers have been reluctant to do the former because they wish to avoid the latter. I maintain that this is a grave mistake. […] #Progressive intellectuals who make excuses for #streetviolence, even in the face of the awful killing of #GeorgeFloyd, are making a monumental moral and political error.”
