Fuck all this "let's not celebrate the gruesome murder of a political opponent" bullshit, the man was a stochastic terrorist. Let's dunk on the douchebag and piss on his grave together. I hope more fascists like him get it through the neck

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.

This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

People always say this but whoever got Charlie didn't need more than that so I disagree. You're not facing down the Air Force directly, you're taking out leadership as you get the opportunity.
Besides, the implication of your argument is that we shouldn't try because it will be hard and I think that's some bullshit. Of course it will be hard but resistance is also necessary in the case where our very lives are being threatened. If you have to resist it's better to do so with even a poor tool than it is to be empty handed.
If assassinations could win wars we'd already be living in an anarchist utopia - that's what anarchists used to be famous for, remember?
Not at all... but it's going to require a lot of "back-to-the-drawing-board" thinking.
What is guerilla war if not a series of well-planned assassinations by a much worse armed force. The USA showed the whole world how effective that tactic is at winning wars, by losing to it again and again.
That is absolutely not what insurgencies are. Assassination is a tactic - not a strategy - and it is most definitely not some "lens" through which to flatten and simplify what insurgency actually is. It's that very kind of superficial thinking that is the whole reason the US military establishment cannot fathom why they can't seem to win at this kind of warfare.
Just remember this... even dodgy tankie outfits like the Weather Underground and the RAF understood that assassination could only get them so far before it began backfiring on them in a big way - and, with hindsight, it's easy to see that they were still being way too optimistic about it.
Sure you want to hold onto this idea?
What is warfare if not assassinations on a large scale?
FTFY.
That is certainly how colonisers view warfare - they do have the propaganda machines to explain it all away, after all.
Are you sure YOU do?
Assassination and slaughter are both describing the same thing. The only real difference is scale. Either way you've got one group of people deciding to achieve their goals via targeted violence against their enemies.
No, and no - the difference is vast.
I have to admit - I'm quite disturbed that people who are discussing the use of force against one of the most violent empires in human history doesn't seem to understand the concept of force all that well.
