We believe that it’s a stretch to say that the quote from the discourse submission
“Tire fire barricade at the AirBnBs! Throw a molotov at the PowerPoint Presentations! Dump a smelly bucket of shrimp on the peaceful protest! We’re going to Stop Block Cop City!!”
could be considered as a genuine threat to firebomb activists, prevent them from doing the NVDA, or any genuine sense of threat.
It reads as an obvious comedic exaggeration from someone spewing hot air.
We removed it because do not want this silly discourse rhetoric that flagrantly incites comedic violence in the manner of empty words to continue to permeate a counter-information site that has been often not so empty.
We are going to start having editorial standards about what discourse is posted here to ensure that posts relating to physical activity do not get drowned out.
We do however think this image is funny:
If you really want to STOP BLOCK COP CITY then crew up and make it violent, go and throw down, or don’t and continue doing whatever you are doing.
Just shut the fuck up about how this proposal sucks.
There has already been a fairly comprehensive zine/handout written about Block Cop City, called “Every Compromise In Defense Of Mother Earth”.
This writing/zine felt important because it intervened in order to give us a departure with which we can move, a point to intervene, and to clarify a positioning of some anarchists.
Now shut up and do something instead of masturbating about your cool hatred of the normal, not-new, age-old, revisionist, liberal, activist, manipulative bullshit.
