The ol’ “Propaganda of the Deed” – we live in a world where building explosives, firearms, chemical and other weapons at home is easier than it has ever been, due to the widespread availability of knowledge of construction, and increased access to things like 3D printers. We also live in a world where large-scale horizontal organization has become easier than ever.
I think it’s important that we don’t fetishize bloodshed, since killing individuals in locations such as those won’t dismantle the systems; simultaneously, I don’t believe that terrorism is fundamentally counterproductive, on the reasons that it’s “bad optics” or that it can be used as a justification for repressing the left. Terrorism is blood theater, and like any theater, it’s up for interpretation.
I think I’m broadly more impartial to sabotage, blocking, occupying, or destroying buildings, and giving cops flashbacks to Sanrizuka. That’s what I’d like to see.
I do think optically almost all of the above actions would be, ultimately, well recieved, except by those who were never interested in tangible, radical change to begin with.

Pretty much, yeah.
