DC just sucks and nobody wanted parades there, Civil War, WW1, WW2 victory parades happened in New York (and smaller local ones regionally). countries whose capitals weren’t negotiated as ransom from slaveholders put their civil and military institutions in one of the large prestigious cities where frequent military parades can draw crowds and look respectable.

i mean there are other more durable ways but i’d be shocked if any country didn’t have more asphalt paving than other road types. it’s comparitively cheap and easy

i support this. i just treat hexbear like a place where everyone is a jaded activist already so i’m less concerned with the public-facing shit.

some hexbeariens are new though, so your approach is still instructive and valuable

i don’t think most people have the energy to plot a rambo standoff with paramilitaries, who don’t generally announce what they’re doing in advance.

i’m not shittalking resistance, i promise, but we cannot expect people to spontaneously develop a consciousness and militancy, even in extreme conditions. that’s what organizing is for

i think this is what people in kenya feel like when the US is about to invade somewhere. something terrible might happen that will affect us all. i have no fucking clue what can be done about it.

i would posit even that it is a public safety risk to stop and talk to unidentified masked individuals that are not performing any traffic direction
