I remember reading this story that The Black Panthers would patrol the streets, armed legally via the 2nd Amendment and their stated goal was to make sure that people’s rights were enforced.
We need that energy. A show of presence and force, that’s as legal as possible, but also shows the people are fed up.
People don’t rise up because they don’t see themselves as sufficiently repressed, or in danger. The window of effective action is probably closed though, it’s far too late to do anything meaningful now.
The ‘levers of power’ are far too effective, systems dismantled, and the US is forever changed. What little dissent that exists is so neutered and ineffectual that it can be ignored.
I will say however, recruiters are just normal ass people and not really valid political targets, that would change nothing and make their loved ones lives awful. They’re so low on the totem pole that I’m not on board with this.
Violence is valid, but random wanton violence against regular ass rank and file folks does nothing but strengthen the oppressor and gives aid and comfort via sympathy, bad strategy, utterly awful.
Only people who would do this and believe it works are unstable folks with no sense of strategy.
Awful everything. 0/10 with rice. Don’t randomly do a violence kids, organize instead, meaningfully organize.
