Skill sharing! Spread the love around!
Q: How can we increase our diversity of knowledge around skills and tactics?
A: By skill sharing
I support Diversity of Tactics since diversity is the natural state of the world. Diversity is much more lovely and full of possibility than coercion-imposed unity. Of course, my concept of Diversity of Tactics must include accountability and successful strategy and does not mean “anything goes” since that is not tactically sound.
Plus, it’s the best tactic for the movement and all that glorious changing the world stuff. Like I said, I’m not in to fight, I’m in it to win.
The more we know, the stronger we are.
The more we can do for ourselves instead of relying on commerce or the state, the stronger we are.
The more we can build a diverse alternative to the capitalist, colonial system, the stronger our argument will be for change.
I’m in to win.
Plus, the information you learn from skill sharing will last longer than any pitch-tent weekend protest!

I’ve included another drinking song you and grandma can learn before you hit the barricades!
But if I may throw in my two cents, please don’t come drunk or high to the demonstrations. If you’re in an incapacitated and unpredictable state, you become a liability to the movement. I’m in it to win, and I take the movement seriously. Plus, if you don’t have the stones to do what you’re planning sober, then…
