Full terrorist might be a bit much, but I wouldn't be opposed to punching holes in packaging of the advertised products.

If the trend caught on at a large enough scale to just mildly vandalize space-billboard products, that shit would stop in a hurry.

...hell we should do that with regular billboards too - gimme my scenery back!

I disagree. A society that sells the night sky to private interest deserves to burn.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

......on second thought... yeah.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 15 points 9 months ago

Billboards really ought to be illegal.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 9 months ago

And now we have mega led tv billboards that flash their content blindingly in your eyes from miles away, yay!

@Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world, I propose a solution to this conundrum:

  • Terrorizing bourgeoisie = good
  • Terrorizing proletariat = bad

I like it. Sign me up.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

Terrorism and vandalism are not the same thing.

[-] American_Communist22@lemmygrad.ml -3 points 9 months ago

so destruction of property for the purpose of political agitation is just as chill as spray painting the side of a rusted train? wow the world has changed

[-] Skates@feddit.nl 5 points 9 months ago

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. Calling the act of fighting back against corporations "terrorism" doesn't make the act itself bad or wrong, nor does it dissuade anyone from carrying it out, it's just virtue signalling to show everyone else which side of the fence you're positioning yourself on. The wrong side.

[-] American_Communist22@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 9 months ago

oh silly I'm from lemmygrad, I am definitely on the side of terrorism. I just want the terms defined properly, because hiding your terms and aims behind vague descriptions is ill-advised and will lead to disaster. Do not desensitize political action, realize what it is, and agree with it.

The government is tied to corporations. The Government exists to carry out the will of the monopolies, and reign in the populace. Throwing billions of dollars to corrupt politicians to carry out their aims does not a democracy make.

[-] Okokimup@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

I can play this game too. Oh so murdering people for the sake of a political agenda is just as chill as damaging property?

[-] American_Communist22@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 9 months ago

damaging property is nothing. Especially the property of the rich use to try to delude us

humans are a different matter, but if your existence relies on the exploitation of the earth, I think they've declared war against every other person alive. Politics is a reflection of human wills and goals, not some thing you snark at from your couch scrolling tiktok. Politics is every thought and idea of change and invention. Every murder is a political murder. If it is a man who beat his wife to death that is a reinforcement of patriarchy. If a driver falls asleep at the wheel and hits a biker, that is a result of capitalist overworking and insufficient bike infrastructure.

All of this is a direct result of capitalism, which the rich enforce the corrupt and aged economy with their wealth. These passive deaths are also murder, so should we just do nothing? Just wait for the same people who've enslaved the world to free us because we asked? You have morals, they would not think twice about killing everyone you know if it meant defending their wealth. Do not allow them to have all the power because of a false morality.

Did you reply to the wrong person?

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Would that constitute terrorism? I thought that was just limited to political goals, not consumer shit.

If yes, then terrorist that shit up!

[-] American_Communist22@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 9 months ago

lets fuckin goooooooooooooooooooooooo

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

People are saying terrorism.

This sounds more like vandalism.

There’s quite a bit of difference.
