Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
Comment on Pie in the face.
Carl@anarchist.nexus 1 week agoYeah, pretty much. A large part of what made the face-pie so effective was simply the “we can still touch you” reminder. It’s a powerful message, because it reminds them that their bodyguards only need to fail once. Which is why they’ve captured the courts and police, to deter attacks even when they aren’t under constant protection.

I remember a few years ago, there was a big to-do about people throwing paint on their yachts lol. Even that was enough to scare them.
If they want to charge people with bioterrorism over pies, then the pie throwers might start throwing brick pies given they will face similar charges.

I think the natural conclusion is if you’re going to charge someone with bioterrorism for throwing a pie on you then they might just throw acid on you instead, as both lead to the same outcome.
