Taking big steps quickly is how you end up being 50 radicals surrounded by 200 cops who beat the shit out of you while the rest of the population eats the propaganda about how evil you are.
Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Grow a healthy and broad base of support. Propaganda of the deed needs something concrete to propagandize. A black bloc needs a crowd willing to hide their actions. A tired activist needs somewhere to relax, recover, and bask in mutual praise. And everyone needs to eat.
If you don’t have time to take it easy, you don’t have time not to take it easy. Burning yourself out helps nobody, and any movement stable enough to succeed can survive without you. The grindset is a capitalist lie meant to exhaust you, so why the fuck would you expect that energy to serve you well in a revolt?
The time for big steps was 500 hundred years ago. The best time is now. Force your comrades to revolt. Riot.

Then wait another 500 more years of small slow steps that crumbled again, and again.🙃
I await others not to fall for Liberal Lies.
I am black bloc too.
