    I think we’re rapidly approaching a tipping point where a lot of individual adventurism is about to come back into fashion. One ecoterrorist or anti-genocide bomber will spark off an absolute shit tonne of copycats.

        I mean sure. But the question is how do you identify and reach and organise the would-be adventurist bombers beforehand?

        Find the answer to that question and I guarantee you you’re in the process of creating the most revolutionary group the US has seen since the panthers.

        Arguably the Panthers successfully intercepted would-be adventurists who would have died shooting cops. Some of them still did, but they did organising in the most revolutionary party the US has seen first.

        You find the people that are going to die fighting the state and manage to connect with them before they do it in a disorganised way and you’re heading in the direction of a revolutionary force.

            Oh I’m not sure it’ll happen that quickly lol. When I was saying “tipping point” I mean more like over the next 5 years.

            This kind of thing is like the start of it. Probably a slow trickle at first, stuff spaced out very far apart before becoming denser as the conditions get worse.

        the problem with that is the various government entities that infiltrate any group that attempts to organize, and tears them apart from the inside or arrests/kills them. But the government aren’t in our heads (yet)

        Sometimes the best organization is no organization: just individual sparks that eventually coalesce into a wildfire.
