    Who’s condemning people torching warehouses?

    As far as I know no one died, so 10/10 no notes.

            It still stands, no matter the label. One person saying something or doing something doesn’t speak for the whole group.

              It’s just a random Reddit thread but it sure does prove the point.

    Playing Monday morning quarterback is so much easier and less risky than suiting up and actually tossing around the pigskin yourself.

    I think most people don’t want the responsibility of power. But, somebody’s gotta lead. And what usually ends up happening is power goes to be people who want it, but those people often want it for the wrong reasons.

    Edit: my brother and I have been working on a project for better leadership. We’re hoping it will be a resource for anyone looking to build better, more resilient communities, as doing so will require quality leadership. We call it the Sane Leadership Circle. It’s going to be a comprehensive guide on leadership, based on actual research. Right now we just have the substack, but we’re going to be building a website soon. It will be like a leadership wiki.

      One warehouse, a mall in the same town, and another one on the east coast (yesterday I believe?)

      It’s starting. And I’m so glad it is.

        If the window for something society-changing is still open, it sure is about to close very soon. Political action has been that of individuals with grudges lately, there is still no indication of a mass movement of workers with radical demands.

      The first warehouse…get angry, active, radical. Follow suit.

      Eat the Fucking Rich

      One warehouse at a time, one Tesla, one fucked return with rocks in it, any one thing a person/revolutionary/advocate can think of at a time. Then the next.
