Do NOT throw bricks at cops. Cops will literally put piles of bricks near protests to tempt stupid people to give them a reason to shoot them in the face.
(a) The police ordered seven tons of bricks to be delivered to a location where a protest might occur sometime in the near future, in the hopes that they would be thrown at them by protestors, so that they could arrest them.
(b) Construction site brick piles are a common occurrence in urban areas.
Rebellion involves guns. Until we’re ready for that, inflatable chicken suits are the meta.
The current battlefield is in the minds of the non-radicalized. Bricks only hurt us in that battle. Watching inflatable chickens being shot with rubber bullets helps us win.
Bullshit. Show me one admin who claims Lemmy has a “troll farm” problem. Only non-admins make such claims, usually ones suffering Russiagate derangement syndrome.

Have they really? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pallets-of-bricks-protest-sites/
Most of the claims against that are tweets by police. And the police have never been caught lying, right?
“Mostly false” should be turned into “insufficient evidence” because there doesn’t seem to be convincing evidence on both arguments.
Which is more likely?

You don’t need the police to provide them; just ask Marsha P Johnson. Lol
Interesting, thank you!
Calm down Karen, it is a meme
We have to be smart. Throwing bricks is stupid.
Throwing bricks is how the gay rights movement got literally anything
Rocket-propelled brick launchers, got it
Man this is lemmy whiplash. One thread judging Americans for not starting a rebellion and the next saying we shouldn’t throw bricks at cops.
What do you people think rebellion is?
Exactly

Not very familiar with the lead up to the American Revolution are we?
Lots of things being thrown
Ok, tough guys, you win.
Now you’re a tough guy™ when you point out hypocrisy

It’s funny you think I haven’t already done so
How did it go?
Feels extremely good, highly reccomend

It resulted in the liberation and elevation of an entire segment of society from the darkness of repression.
From what I can tell, you used bricks to get into your own gay bar, which the police had barricaded. Good work!
Empoweringly
They weren’t there. These are feds and troll farms inciting idiotic behavior online.
Bullshit. Show me one admin who claims Lemmy has a “troll farm” problem. Only non-admins make such claims, usually ones suffering Russiagate derangement syndrome.
The closest thing to a troll farm I’ve seen so far is these several user accounts that only post news articles disparaging the US’s enemies.
Why don’t you report some more of your delusions officer

Probably better then clutching pearls at stupid memes
