Posse up, start raiding the homes of the rich for anything of value, burn down the rest, along with the inhabitants. Rainy/snowy nights are excellent opportunities.

Rainy/snowy nights are excellent opportunities.

Can confirm. Used to be a security guard. On rainy/foggy nights, exterior camera lenses tend to get wet and blurry and the cameras can't see shit. They'll be able to maybe tell that someone was there, but they won't be able to make out any significant details. (Interior cameras will be unaffected, of course, so be careful of those.)

Extra bonus tip: wear a disguise! Just a wig and glasses or something can make you look like a totally different person. It may not fool people face-to-face, but it's much easier to fool a grainy security camera picture. And if you have short, dark hair while the police are looking for someone with long, blonde hair, they're very unlikely to ever figure out it was you.

And always leave your phone at home.

[–] adjectivenoun@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not just phone. All electronics. And your car, which also has a modem talking to every coms tower and GPS at all times.

[–] Fishnoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yup, pull the fuse on the onstar or use an e bike, motorcycle, etc

[–] adjectivenoun@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yep. And be careful which ebike or motorcycle.

I know I can completely disable--deenergize from the fuse box--my car's "SOS" modem, but that isn't possible on all cars. Mine is also like 10 years old and I imagine it's getting harder and harder. (It being 10 years old also means there aren't many 3G towers left around for it to talk to, but I'm not taking any chances.)

Read about Italian illegalists for inspiration

Renzo Novatore's wiki page is a great start

He justified refusal of work and he thought, in his personal philosophy of life, that he had the right to expropriate from the rich what he needed for his daily survival, and using force wasn't a problem for him.

How interesting.

This isn't gonna affect the rich at all, lol. You don't know where the rich live. The nice house up the street you're talking about robbing, that's not a plutocrat. That's just the local doctor. Still working class, just a bit better off.

It's going to impact the dipshits who voted for a traitor.

The rich will get handled once we take control back

This is just to give karma a helping hand

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

...are you arguing that anyone with more than two brain cells to rub together or even the slightest bit of financial literacy voted for the GOP?

Okay pol pot.
