If we’re gonna condemn every piece of action that destroys tools of oppression as adventurist
Good thing nobody is doing that. What people are saying is that combating these tools of oppression requires actual mass organizing, not dispersed acts of terror by isolated individuals or small cells. Hence why everyone here supports the direct action of the marches and encampments and occupations since those can facilitate broader organizing but are skeptical of some random anarchist kid burning some cop cars that will be replaced in a week.
Yeah but you’ll probably get out of jail quicker if you get arrested for protesting rather than domestic terrorism. Also the pool of people willing to do domestic terrorism is way smaller than the pool of people willing to attend a march or encampment so you’re gonna burn through that population a lot quicker.
You’re acting as if it would become a serious threat the state wouldn’t just make it “domestic terrorism” to participate even peaceful pro-palestine rallies.
If things got to that point I’d assume there’d be a left movement well organized enough to mount some kind of coordinated armed struggle, at which point I think burning cop cars would be a more viable tactic. It’s the fact this was some isolated rando doing this that I take issue with, not the action itself.

Well then they will be burned next week as well. And the week after. And after.
Not if they throw your ass in jail, which they probably will eventually if you keep doing the exact same action over and over again.
I don’t know where you were in the last two weeks but you absolutely don’t have to torch cop cars in order to get thrown in jails.

Just going by the historical examples the state will preemptively do it. Hope i will be wrong.
