        Oh? How so? Winning the battle of public perception is key to a popular revolution.

        What do you offer instead? Giving the fascist state a cassis belli to ramp up more violence?

        Who wins in that case?

          No, winning the actual battle is key.

          At this stage anyone still supporting Trump or ICE will continue to do so because the X years of prior public perception have already failed to change their minds.

          Centrists will sit there watching people die and say shit like “Gee we better not provoke them, they might kill people”. What number of lives lost will it take for you to give a shit?

            And here you are implicitly encouraging others to do the violence you are too cowardly to do yourself. What value are you providing?

          Oh? How so? Winning the battle of public perception is key to a popular revolution.

          And continually rolling over with no pushback is demoralizing to the supporters needed for a popular revolution.

          It’s a balancing act, and trying to play only one side will absolutely fuck the movement.
