Yeah both non-violence and pure terrorism are communication forms at the root. I remember reading long ago that the Rote Armee Fraktion’s master plan was: commit horrific acts of violence against pillars of the community / rob banks to get money said acts would unleash a repressive wave of violence from the state the proletariat would see this repressive wave, wake up, and cause the revolution It kinda stopped at stage 2, because the BRD’s security services were a bit less ex-Nazi than they expected, and also there was basically no proletariat. Also the Southern police chief who correctly deduced that mass arrests were what the civil rights activists wanted, got the go-ahead from neighboring county jails, and then politely and non-violently arrested everyone protesting and spread them out over a wider area, thus preventing the media-friendly repression that was the goal.

Yeah there are only so many ways to get it going, you don’t hear about these that don’t figure it out because cops bust them making them look like clowns and nobody wants to get associated with them afterwards there is also a barrier between step 2 and 3, because sometimes news like that are suppressed. american school shootings get that treatment sometimes, not to mention all the info filtering at facebook and friends. this is why sympathetic media is an important bit to have in advance. there’s also this bit where any serious insurgency needs money and it looks like what they got didn’t work out that southern police chief was per blogpost Laurie Pritchett and this kind of thinking is also what makes COIN tick. worry not, Hegseth declared it all woke nonsense
