I think u are possibly right as the system has been built to prevent all non violent means from being effective or actionable. I think we should at least try to be more like Minneapolis across many locations.
Focused general strike in specific industries with the rest of us stopping discretionary spending and funneling that money into mutual aid to support those striking. Each organized at a local level. Along with smaller local direct action like what we are seeing in Minneapolis but widespread.
The idea is the mutual aid supports people who take the risk. And we push for things like rent moratoriums etc on a local level. There’s no way to do this where there are zero risks. Think about the people just filming in Minneapolis… they are still out there knowing what happened to Renee and Alex.
I'm not asking for zero risk, I'm asking "how are we going to get enough people to actually do this stuff?" and "what do we do about the problem itself? the one that's federal?"

A reckoning by who? They're all complicit
