Blow myself up
Aloha snackbar!
Just kidding if they stare at me I look into their eyes and stare right back and hope we both know what I am

Start a respectful debate without violence unless attacked.

Liberal arts campus invites Chris Hedges for a commencement speech (probably after hearing about his book 'War is a Force that Gives us Meaning' without actually reading it), he delivers a 20 minute anti-war speech and people have a meltdown over it. So much for liberal arts.

I politely explain the actual definition of "reactionary" does not mean "right-wing capitalist" and that many leftists are actually reactionary dipshits.

And if they don't want to listen or actively try to suppress your speech like the OP?

Just leave.

sing a song!

What if they tell you to stop citing wikis?

What are you implying should happen when people "suppress your speech" or don't want to listen to you? Do you have some kind of right to be heard?

meet up in public, have them suck me off possible fuck, give them a nicely wrapped dictionary, be on my merry way

This isn't about rights, it's about finding a way to convert reactionaries to your side.

Or just kill them. Might be tough when you're surrounded though.

Which leftists are desiring a return to traditional pre-capitalist lifestyles

Killing them would convert an enormous public populace to their side instantly.

Found the socdem.

You mean the correct definition, those who want to preserve the status-quo ante. That would be virtually anyone whose political view is in any way derived from the october revolution for example.

Correct tactics are correct tactics.

...

I keep doing whatever I'm doing. Just another day in America.

If your definition of correctness doesn't include tangible success, you're running a tar baby in the form of a church.

Did you even read your own link?

What fucking leftist wants a return to fucking pre-revolt Tsarist Russia?

ignite the primer?

Bond over your common trials and tribulations connected to work and money, like being treated like shit, shitty bosses, cuts, mergers, only afford a mediocre car, rent, debt, social services that don't work how they're supposed to etc, idiotic priorities by business, gov, and politicial leaders.

Then propose solutions without using socialist lingo. When they agree, tell them: this is what socialism is.

That's actually a good question.

On one hand, you have bombs which can be very deadly and can be set off at a safe distance, but are also a bit random and may leave many of them unscathed.

You have gas attacks, like chlorine bombs, which are more thourough, but can be easily escaped before they do maximum damage and can be swept away by the wind.

Finally, you have guns, which are the most thourough due to being a more "hands on" approach to the problem, but leave you open to retaliation.

I'd recommend a mix of the three. Set off a gas attack in the middle of the reactionaries, have bombs set off around the perimeter of the the event to maim and disorientate them while they run from the gas attack, and then finally have snipers overlooking the event to take out stragglers.

Seems like the most effective strategy to me.

Nah fam, Phosgene is where is at, 10 times as toxic and way easier to make than say: nerve gases or sulfur mustard and it derivatives.

Is this Chris Hedges?
This is hilarious.

A lot of them have convinced themselves of the value of "hard work" and thoroughly believe their compensation is "fair". They are taught to see the "bright side" of things. They have a house they can hardly afford, can buy junk food and booze when they want and watch whatever schlock is on tv. If you try to drop some class consciousness bombs on them it won't work, you will look like a negative and angry person.

Yes, this is the speech that eventually made him leave the New York Times.

Chlorine gas is easy as shit, just combine bleach with urine.

My experience with the "hard work is a virtue, I get what I deserve, let's stay positive, love my workplace" types is that alienation simmers right under the surface and the waspy train of thought is mostly to not seem like a contrarian or to convince themselves, like a mantra almost. They might have an angry knee-jerk reaction because of justification of effort, as they've toiled most of their lives with a positive attitude and have little to show for it. But over time, at least where I live, people tend to soften and see how shitty they're really treated by the capitalist society.

No.

The "status quo ante" refers to some mythical "good old days" that supposedly existed before progress ruined it.
