Moving from simply shitting on legalitarians, so-called anarchists, antifascists, and militants are again indistinguishable from liberals on the topics of such things as.. assassinations. Rest in Piss, Charlie Kirk, it should’ve happened sooner, but let me make my point.
These “radicals” cannot fathom that when politics or values finally click for some random adult about what has been happening (whether it be genocide or the general state of the world), that their response of violence is an impossible reality, it cannot be genuine, it must be fake or something else entirely. The appropriate reaction to witnessing genocide is to be a placated lamb that must shuffle into a left organization to be then given the most ineffective series of next steps in resisting a genocide.
These people are committing the first sin of counterinsurgency by doing everything they can to suggest that your initial, violent response cannot be genuine. There is no way in hell you would ever dream of resorting to “political” violence in the face of everyday violence. There is no way a person, in less than a year, can go from normie to assassin. It must be a false flag and if isn’t a false flag, it must be a right winger eating their own, because as we know, the right is brave enough to kill their own for whatever reasons, but the left isn’t brave enough to kill in revenge of thousands of dead children.
They cannot fathom a world where a person hits a train of knowledge and experiences that their first response, reasonably, is something violent must be done because it’s clearly the only way out. The interesting twist here is when the counterinsurgents identify as an anarchists, centering their social media accounts about militancy and rights, but immediately don the profession of a true crime podcaster the moment someone assassinates a right wing ideologue.
So, in their disbelief, they become the first form of social repression, the first to discredit, the first to reign in, and the first to exile.
Why?
The reality is, despite whatever language they may use, is that they are afraid of this spilling out into a full blown conflict because whatever utopia they want, they want to find some magical way to get there without bloodshed or in some magical V for Vendetta fuckass ending.
The answer really is cowardice, it isn’t even a simplification, it is just another pathetic acknowledgement.
