    You can be peaceful while protesting if you are stopping the world from ignoring the problem. Stop the money from flowing and the business class will be forced to pay attention. Adding debris to track/road is not violent and will absolutely work. Cause them more work than it takes to protest. That’s how protests succeed.

    There’s something inbetween. Anti consumption, Anti work, general strike (which is still forbidden to call for here, wtf?), open source everything, community, mocking art.

    All this only helps if you are many. If you start to burn mansions because you are only few, that makes domestic terror.

      Pretty sure this isn’t a real Fanon quote. It doesn’t sound like his writing style.

      A search just reveals this meme, but no Fanon texts. I also searched a couple of his books with no results.

    What Fanon work is this from?

    The writing style doesn’t ‘feel’ like Fanon’s, admittedly this is entirely subjective. What isn’t subjective is when I search it, I only see other references to this meme and no references to texts.

      That’s true, it’s not from anything I’ve read. I just reposted it because Booker Ngesa Omole posted it & he gets a bump in credibility due to actively participating in a general strike. I just post slop on this one it’s gonna be automated soon too so you won’t even be able to contact support this fast

      You should read Fanon’s Concerning Violence it’s a lot meatier
