Do NOT throw bricks at cops. Cops will literally put piles of bricks near protests to tempt stupid people to give them a reason to shoot them in the face.

Calm down Karen, it is a meme

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

We have to be smart. Throwing bricks is stupid.

Man this is lemmy whiplash. One thread judging Americans for not starting a rebellion and the next saying we shouldn't throw bricks at cops.

What do you people think rebellion is?

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Rebellion involves guns. Until we're ready for that, inflatable chicken suits are the meta.

The current battlefield is in the minds of the non-radicalized. Bricks only hurt us in that battle. Watching inflatable chickens being shot with rubber bullets helps us win.

Not very familiar with the lead up to the American Revolution are we?

Lots of things being thrown

Throwing bricks is how the gay rights movement got literally anything

It resulted in the liberation and elevation of an entire segment of society from the darkness of repression.

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

From what I can tell, you used bricks to get into your own gay bar, which the police had barricaded. Good work!

They weren't there. These are feds and troll farms inciting idiotic behavior online.

[-] hamid@crazypeople.online 5 points 1 day ago

Why don't you report some more of your delusions officer

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Why don't you incite some more violence? Fed goon.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

What violence has actually sprung from leftist internet memes? You give them way too much credit.

You know that claims of a rising tide of “far-left violence” are fake news, yeah? This bullshit narrative is pumped out by the far-right and by corporate media (otherwise known as the bourgeois press) and by NGOs who get their funding from the bourgeoisie.

Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad-jacketing

Bad-jacketing is a term for planting doubt on the authenticity of an individual's bona fides or identity. An example would be creating suspicion through spreading false rumors, manufacturing evidence, etc., that falsely portray someone in a community organization as an informant, or member of law enforcement, or guilty of malfeasance such as skimming organization funds.

Fed-jacketing, and Snitch-jacketing are variants of bad-jacketing that specifically aim to present the target as an informer.

Why don't you cry more about memes. You fucking people and your pearl clutching about stupid jokes is incredible. Sign out before you give yourself hypertension, child.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Bullshit. Show me one admin who claims Lemmy has a “troll farm” problem. Only non-admins make such claims, usually ones suffering Russiagate derangement syndrome.

The closest thing to a troll farm I’ve seen so far is these several user accounts that only post news articles disparaging the US’s enemies.

Rocket-propelled brick launchers, got it

[-] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Most of the claims against that are tweets by police. And the police have never been caught lying, right?

"Mostly false" should be turned into "insufficient evidence" because there doesn't seem to be convincing evidence on both arguments.

[-] davel@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Which is more likely?

(a) The police ordered seven tons of bricks to be delivered to a location where a protest might occur sometime in the near future, in the hopes that they would be thrown at them by protestors, so that they could arrest them.

(b) Construction site brick piles are a common occurrence in urban areas.

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Interesting, thank you!

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

You don't need the police to provide them; just ask Marsha P Johnson. Lol
