this mf thinks we still have medieval walled cities, like dude, you can literally just... walk out of the city. I mean, yeah, you can indeed disrupt logistics, but there's a pretty big gap between "trucks can't get in to deliver supplies" and "entire population is trapped inside of the city". Also railway transport isn't real I guess

also love the idea of completely destroying supply routes into the city with... backhoes and gravel. I guess city folk don't have any construction equipment of their own to clear and repair their roads. Also I guess the roads are just going to be conveniently completely empty for however many hours it takes you to block them, because, uh...

Lmao, took them all of 4 people to do it.

But yeah, pretty much. Disrupt traffic flow at a major intersection a bit by your usual non-enforced traffic infractions like double parking inconveniently or missing much or all of the green phase due to being on your smartphone or similar, 3 other people do the same at feeding arterial roads for like 10 minutes until all the impatient carbrains start trying to cheat their way onto non-cleared intersections and ta-da, gridlock that's now become a massive headache to unfuck. x10 if you can convince someone to get into a minor fender bender after it and then start arguing and taking lots and lots of photos on the road. Takes like 4 guys with all of the conviction of "maybe get a ticket" to pull it off, I'm genuinely surprised no one ever tried it.

There's some push button crosswalks around a major bottleneck bridge where I am. I'm certain 3 people just crossing the streets over and over would bring traffic to a halt

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
