Subsequent to his arrest, Chris was served with a quarter million dollar lawsuit on behalf of the New Columbia Movement.
Bunch of fucking fascist larpers who played BioShock Infinite once and think they'll be in the ruling class if the fascists win. I hope they lose their attempts to prevent their members from testifying.
Actions like this do little other than make the people participating feel good. Edit: I hate that phrase, let me restate that. Actions like this do little other than diffuse revolutionary energy by wasting peoples effort with ineffective and often counter productive action. I don’t say that to take away from the energy and need to do something that people feel, but it’s constructive criticism on where that energy should be directed.
For real effective change we need to be engaging the working people at Boeing to organize within their union to enact a strike over the company’s involvement in Gaza. Actions like this and the one in the port of Tacoma refuse (don’t think?) to bring in union workers to their organizing, treating them antagonistic instead. This ends up being detrimental to the cause as it turns off fellow working class people to the goals of the protest.
Organizing tables day after day at Boeing to engage with employees is not as exciting as blocking roads and chanting, it’s hard and can lead to conversations that are difficult to navigate, but it’s the kind of approach that is much more effective in actually making progress.
They think they’ll be accepted. Same way there were nazi Jews. Some people think they’ll get ahead if they align themselves with these type of fascists and they don’t realize that they’re gonna be the first ones to go the way of Ernst Rohm.
We have to do a better job of convincing them that they’re just being useful idiots, I don’t know why people like Andy Ngo haven’t realized it yet, I’m certain he’s dealt with a lot of racism by now from these Nazis he defends
Probably because having Asian heritage does not make one immune from being racist? Certainly there are various Asian supremacist movements within Asia.
Within the US, it is still just a matter of desiring a race-based hierarchy - they sure as hell don’t want equality, nor to be at the bottom along with everyone White Nationalists seek to oppress, so though they know that as a minority they won’t ever be at the top of such a hierarchy, they hope to end up in second place.
Vietnamese-American, born in US. I was shocked to find out my hometown in Orange County, California, heavily favored Trump in the last election. I couldn’t understand why they would side with the anti-immigration and white nationalist party.
