thanks for the cool post

don't try to accomplish action and propaganda with the same group of people, the goal is to have work that will speak for itself such that anti-imperialists with good analysis can recognize it and spread the word without either of you endangering each other by being in any form of contact. if you have a reason to use mass media, do it by means of completely anonymous information drops, plenty will be ignored as bullshit or crazies, but that's why you send them to multiple places. all you need is one site/channel to take the risk and run the story and the others will pick up.



i guess this would be an immense troll of derrideans and the "spectral International"

mounties are fucking terrifying, a mountie could beat me to death with the jawbone of an ass in front of a crowd of school children while screaming god is hitler's faggot and they would get two weeks suspension with pay.

due south was very effective propaganda, i'm imagining an equivalent program about the RUC or the b-specials or something and lolling

like it's cool to make fun of the goofy costumes and all but no one should make the mistake of believing that the mounties aren't every bit as sinister as any other federal police force. in some ways perhaps even more so, they have zero accountability structures and a deeeeeply entrenched blue shield, and yeah propaganda has been so effective that even if you present hard evidence that a mountie beat a handcuffed indigenous child to death in the back seat of a cop car everyone will still believe that the perpetrators are just some polite ceremonial milquetoasts. i suspect that this has an even better leverage on the popular imagination than the american image of the fbi as "hard people making hard choices"

also those horses are trained to fuck protesters up while giving the cops riding them plausible deniability.

i mean the fbi pays me a decent wage just to read and to post on this forum, i can only imagine how much they're paying keith olberman or johnny manziel to spread propaganda to the masses

they bite. one time i pulled up past a cop on a horse at a red light and i had a couple paper garment bags on my back sticking out and they got too close or i just startled it or something and for some reason me going by pissed off the horse and it bit me bag and literally lifted me and my bike off the ground and i fell over.

anyways in the ensuing interaction i had with the cops they said the horses are trained to bite the shit out of people in riot / crowd pacification situations and not as much kick bc its less safe for the rider

edit: also i've seen a cop on a horse chase someone on a late night on 6th street bar disctrict austin.. terrifying.
