2. The Problem of Offense
Occupy was 1% offense, followed by 99%
defense
Lose direct confrontation every time
Left hoping you get beat so bad that someone
notices
3. Anarchist Assassins
Limits risk of collateral damage
Humanizes structures
Makes power less appealing
Triggers self-preservation
Clarifies antagonisms
4. Why We Can't Shoot People
Literally outgunned
Can tolerate structural violence, and insane
violence, but not organized interpersonal
violence
Necessarily insular, secretive
5. Why We Can't Shoot People Part 2
We aren't those people
6. (Failed) Alternatives to Violence
Occupation playbook is written
Leaks framework is based on apolitical
epistemology
What's left is representational (voting,
petitioning, DDSing)
9. Great Expectations
"He should have had a more responsible
father"
"If you have something that you don’t want
anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be
doing it in the first place"
Miley Cyrus
