Q. Edwards@Richard_Littler Fear of violence and fear of losing what little they people have pretty much does it.
Becca@the_q eh, violence is already a given
the state is going around on a murder and kidnapping spree
there's nothing to be afraid of. we have nothing to fear, but fear itself.
once the bully materializes a threat, the negotiating phase is over, and there's no unknowns left to fear.
there can only be action.
Mïkê 💚 👑🐉🗡️🏳️⚧️@bweller @the_q @Richard_Littler What kind of action are you talking about? When are you going to do it? What are your objectives? How will you achieve them? What resistance can you expect to see? How will you overcome it? What happens once you've won?
Do you know how the action will change your life, in the short and long term? What have you done to mitigate the effects of those changes? How long can those mitigations last once the action starts?
Who are you going to do this action with? What will be your and their roles in the group? What responsibilities do those roles come with? What experience do you have with similar actions in the past?
What tools are you going to use? If you don't already have them, how will you get them? Do you know how to use them safely? Do you know how you're going to maintain them throughout the action? Can everyone else in your group say the same?
Etc etc. It's easy to talk about the necessity of revolution and civil war in the abstract. Once you start thinking about how it would actually go, you'll start to see why it's not happening.
