Yes, ~~but~~ and don't allow your resistance to be selected and controlled by the owners. Be wary of people telling you the "right" and "wrong" ways to resist. Resistance takes myriad forms, some of them clean, some of them markedly less-so. Some of them legal, some not. Some of them safe, and others dangerous. If you find yourself policing others' resistance, make sure you aren't becoming a tool of the Owner Class to funnel resistance into less effective, more easily-ignored or countered methods.

Bro you just posted this caution against tone policing resistance to tone police a call to resistance.

Freedom never comes through surrender, and climate justice will never come through catering calls to resistance to people saying they're tired and burnt out. We're all tired and burnt out, shit's still gotta get done.

I was not talking about tone at all.

And literally nothing I said was an attack on what you said, I was adding to it.

edit: I have changed my first comment to make that clearer.
