Sure, maybe some libs are sympathetic because of images from stunts like these, but to believe they move the needle in any meaningful way is idealism and not grounded in material reality. After two years of watching malnourished women and children crying while caressing their dead family members, Israel still has significant support amongst Americans.

Our enemies do not have a conscience. Appealing to their sympathy is futile. Their efforts must be directly frustrated by changing the material world. Force and profit are the only languages they are capable of understanding.

Protesting should only be seen as a networking event for finding comrades to build dual power with. If there is no org to sign people up for changing the material world, all you are doing is putting a target on your back for the sake of symbolism.

If we had the masses overwhelmingly on our side and could bring commerce to a halt, this would be an entirely different story.

Until we have the means of information distribution not subject to the whims of capital or the state, "messaging" is negative praxis because it encourages idealistic thinking, which further entrenches liberalism. Outside of exploiting the brief periods that occur immediately following some spontaneous event, we will not be allowed to speak to the masses directly in any way advantageous to us.

PR effort would be better spent training and educating cadres on how to exploit those brief opportunities and building institutional knowledge on how to develop, secure, and maintain our own communication infrastructure.

Speaking directly to the masses is a core challenge for revolutionaries everywhere at any time period, but the context of the 21st century and the suburban sprawl of the imperial core means prior art from successful revolutions will have to be heavily adapted before being useful to us here and now.
