Douglas Edwards 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇵🇦🇬🇱🇩🇰🇪🇺<p>The general drift of the apparent <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/COINTELPRO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>COINTELPRO</span></a> against <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/HandsOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HandsOff</span></a> is that protests are ONLY useful if they directly confront police; that this behavior matters more than the number of protesters; and that anyone placing primary emphasis on getting the largest protest crowds possible is naive and insufficiently leftist. This is contradicted by research on the downfall of <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/dictatorships" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dictatorships</span></a>, and is straight out of the <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/AgentProvocateur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AgentProvocateur</span></a> / <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/COINTELPRO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>COINTELPRO</span></a> playbook. Be very suspicious of ANYONE giving this kind of strategic advice. For me, this is <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/instablock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>instablock</span></a> material.</p>
