very cringe post except for the bit about saying "comrade." nobody talks that way irl, it's such an obvious affectation. it's the leftist equivalent of saying "folks" instead of "people"

There are orgs where I live that call each other comrades, I thought it was odd at first actually hearing that in person but now I like it

If you’re just yelling at buildings, yeah no shit its cringe. Even I don’t have any optimism for anything, but the orgs in my city are disrupting events and sessions held by politicians and liberal organizations. If you’re smart and coordinated, you can manage to waste their whole event because they’re trying to kick people out and it destroys morale.

Whether it change anything, I don’t know, but the liberals continue to screech about it online and make 50 articles condemning the protests because it’ll hurt Biden’s feefees.

Enough with the civility nonsense. It’s obvious the US won’t change shit. Start thinking about how to make these bitches cry for supporting genocide. Make sure they’re always looking over their shoulders even if you’re sleeping in your bed 50 miles away. And I’m not even talking about doing anything violent. Wearing a keffiyah is often enough to make these fuckers sweat. You want action? Call those fuckers out in front of everyone, ignore their nonsense drivel rebuttal, and just keep letting everyone know that the Zionist supports genocide. They will break.

These days, the only things that put a smile on me are videos of settlers running, zionists abroad crying, and women complimenting me. Just because things won’t change for a long time doesn’t mean the enemy doesn’t deserve to develop mental illness for their complicity in and perpetuation of crimes against humanity. You don’t need hope to accomplish any of this. Just pure spite and hatred.

Yelling at a government building is kind of cringe ngl... but have you tried going to a bus stop or posting up outside a wal*mart and taking to people?

I think protests are more performance and not effective at doing anything, unless they're disruptive...

I hope this is a joke, otherwise you are just a lib and I'm sure you've never even organized friends for your own birthday party much less any movement or campaign ever worth the effort.

Nothing lost here.

Organizers and Communists don't talk like this, unless they're joking, so No.

I would say this to a lib though.

Honestly, I think if you are a Communist and an organizer and you think this then you are much more dominated by your depression and hopelessness than you think.

Moments can be uncomfortable and cringe, even needlessly lead to failures and terrible losses, and characterizing it as uncomfortable or even comedic can be understandable but to just characterize it as cringe in this way is to ignore the victories and necessity of struggle in its current form. We always need a diversity of tactics but also a shared goal. Just calling it cringe erases the great hope and joy that come in organizing and movement and victory. I think you've either never experienced it or are so internally hopeless that you don't see value in it, which is sad. But coming to a Communist space and saying this as well as not wanting to be comrades with the people there and beginning with the pronouncement that you're liberal, won't win any sympathy and is the mistaken path to take.

I agree that 'protests' or demonstrations of the general public without either specific demands or particular pressure are useless. Direct action is the key, and for that you need achievable demands that can be won through some pressure. I also understand not immediately calling people comrades who you don't know or who haven't proven themselves to be comrades, but in this space you most likely will never know the difference between a fed and a committed revolutionary so it is best to just assume the latter because there won't be much consequence.

My reading comprehension might be questionable, doubtless, but so is your writing ability for describing your current thought. If you agree generally with my point then I apologize, but you approached this by writing in form as a lib wrecker and saboteur so I am not sure what response you expected here.
