Palantir, the bloated police state and the absolute refusal to listen to even the milquetoast request to stop funding a genocide (not even fight to stop the genocide!) all have shown that protest results in beatings and ostracization from the economy.
Narrative salience and history would teach us that it’s the hero’s journey. You’d have some disillusioned youth who hates the status quo find their way out of their comfort zone. They’d find a mentor who tells them about the stakes and teaches them a new way to interact. They’d then confront the powers that be with this new found capacity. Presumably this would be like someone reacting to the brutal violence and impotence of asking nicely. For legal reasons I can’t imagine what an adapted response to fascist violence that’s not asking nicely would be. I genuinely cannot even fathom a single guess as to what that that might look like.
Everyone knows the score at this point.

What does that mean? Who knows.

I think it means more burnt down warehouses.
Not that I approve of that, of course.
I condemn and disavow vandalizing defense contractors!
I disavow extremely cool industrial sabotage
