Right, everything that actually works is a "power fantasy" to you.

The fact is that it's now become imperative that we move way beyond the tired old ritual of thousands of unarmed and helpless protesters being dispersed at will by cops with teargas, or savagely beaten, or kidnapped and whisked away, or maimed by rubber bullets, or kettled and arrested. We all know their tactics by now. So why do we never adapt? Why do we play out the same scenarios over and over with every demonstration?

We need thousands of ARMED people actually and physically fighting back. Who wants to go to a riot/protest unarmed and risk getting maimed for life? If you're going to be a martyr, at least be armed, do some damage, go down with a fight. We need access to flame throwers, rocket launchers, RPGs, and armor-piercing ammunition. Failing this, we could use cross bows, catapults, nets, road spikes, more leaf blowers, laser pointers, throwing axes, maces, chainsaws, shields, helmets, kevlar, , etc.

I'm just so fucking sick and tired of always losing, and people making excuses for why fighting back is a "power fantasy" or "impractical". We never win because we never take it to the next logical level. We always get our heads kicked in always back down. We always put ourselves at a disadvantage because we are unarmed, vulnerable and helpless. We need to start winning street battles.
