Assuming you succeed, will you then get your makeup, glasses, clothes, and computer? Or internet? Or electricity? Or running water?

If I had any talent for video editing, I'd edit this to transition into "Please dont let me be misunderstood" by Santana Esmeralda

"Hurr durr, slaver companies like nestlé are essential for the production of electricity"

Do capitalist bootlickers even think?

We’re too busy licking boots and eating Micky Ds.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Oh shit. I’ve been eating boots and licking Ds.

It all makes sense now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Could we compromise on eating Ds and booting Micky?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Why are you eating a niche morrowind youtuber,not cool man

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago

I really don't care if an a*azon center gets invaded by creepers

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yes you will, because you sabotage effectively, in industries that are not actually important or only produce worthless junk or companies that try to kill off smaller ones.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (3 children)

In the off chance you’re semi-serious, it’s hard to have a compete systems level understanding of anything, so you can’t actually predict the unknown unknown consequences. It’s like trying to strategically projectile vomit, you’ll get most of that into the desired location but some of that acidic chum is def landing somewhere you didn’t intend lol

Take memes seriously, and get into arguments with strangers on the Internet.

They didn't specify which industries.

just please don't go after the mayonnaise industry, i would die without my industrial music

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Assuming we succeed in one act of industrial sabotage? Nothing we could do could disrupt any of these supplies on the global scale.

So many who think bombs are the way to go. They are not.

None of the following is a good idea, either.

Fun facts I've learned while working for a living:

1.) A bottle of coca-cola, or any sugary drink, will ruin a concrete pour.

2.) Diesel equipment doesn't like water, gasoline, or eggs in the tank.

3.) There are two ends of a telephone line. One end is at the building. The other end is in a box nearby that nobody is watching.

4.) A battered hard hat, old steel toe boots, a dirty yellow safety vest, and an air of confidence will turn you invisible.

somewhere online is a copy of a pamphlet that was made available to resistance folks during ww2, full of similar fun facts.

edit - the simple sabotage field manual

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Most of that is destroying a machine you work at over month and annoying the shit out of people.

Nobody questions a man carrying a ladder

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

I'd wonder, and maybe ask, if they need help, so I'd remember them. And people who believe they're handy might come up to chat to see what's being worked on

But someone in a PPE and a clipboard? Could be a worker, could be an assistant running an errand, could be a safety inspector, could be the big boss - it's a nice mix of "that person is probably here for a reason" and "that person might be a headache with a penchant for power trips". I'm not going to approach or remember that person

Best part - if someone with a ladder or a tool belt is looking around or hanging out somewhere, they look like they're lost. If someone with a clipboard is looking around, they're probably inspecting, and if they're opening doors or looking around somewhere unexpected, they're probably just looking for a quiet place to fill out paperwork or make a call - easy excuse with no loose threads

That's not a silly, goofy time. It's a tense, reactive, and hostile time and environment.

Don't listen to this meme. It takes a lot of planning and execution to blow up any target, regardless if you're the US Military, or some freedom fighting militia.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (1 children)

First: explosives aren't that hard to make just place them somewhere

Second: you don't have to blow up stuff. For example you can just pour sugar into a concrete mixer and prevent construction and such

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

sugar into a concrete mixer and prevent construction and such

I used to work for a concrete precasting plant. A single 20oz bottle of coke will ruin ten cubic yards of concrete easily.

But it's even easier than that. You can spray forms/reinforcement with soda before the concrete is even poured, and it will ruin the pour because the concrete won't bond to the reinforcement.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

That is a fact i am glad to have learned

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

You gotta learn to have fun with it. Maybe use glitter.

Don't listen to this comment, I have tried small scale industrial Sabotage and I a had a very good time lage scale is obviosly more fun

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What if you just want to hold a rave in the city's water treatment plant?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

That's a different type of "blowing up."

I dunno man, Hyundai seem to be have one hell of a goof off w/r/t immobilizers and it seems like they did no planning at all and are just vibing

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What if I just want to blow up that ass?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

I would question your taste, but I get too many compliments on my looks to believe that I'm as lonely as I think I am.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Sorry can't hear you over the bombs I just detonated

I know you would need to be totally anonymous to get away with it but it's it really worth it if you can't do it dressed as a supervillain and leave a calling card?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

Your sabotage will be your calling card. Since ecotage has fallen out of favor, people will think "oh snap, the pipeline welder stuck again. I bet they could weld 10 miles of pipeline control valves shut in a single night"

But plan enough to get away with it.

Some theory as to why you're doing it is also good but less necessary.
