I just don't care anymore. Think Musk or Trump or any billionaires are sweating this? Until their planes are sabotaged and falling out of the sky, until they're afraid to show their face in public without a Special Forces detachment, nothing will change.

Don't be defeatist. This is the shit that begins the rolling momentum that eventually causes stuff like that. Actions like you're talking about, absent obvious popular agitation, get treated like isolated random criminals, irrelevant and unsympathetic - see Luigi Mangione. And of course too much violence too quickly will result in extremely violent gov't response.

I understand feeling jaded but we need enthusiasm, support, action. The stuff you're saying is the opposite of that. But on the whole, I'm with you in the sense that I'd rather see 100 LMs than 1MM protesters. I think we're threading a tricky needle though.

"Resistance" so far has been more form than function, but there are other routes of resistance than urban guerilla warfare. One general strike is still enough to end all this, and that's the more likely scenario.
