FAQ
Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?
A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.
I'm the smash the bus person, and I actually would. The truth is he's only marginally worse than Joe in most of the ways that matter, and assassinations always lead to much worse reactions. Trump isn't the problem, the apparatus that enables him is.
The solution is to build alternatives that remove people's dependence on the state and capital, so the president matters less. That's what I mean by smashing the bus. I never said to kill the driver, because his mates will kill you and stay in control.
