They are correct to note:
It was the rules of the previous game that created this situation. Wanting to go back a single step in history, to the previous stage of the process, is foolish, because that was the stage that led us directly to this one.
Defense against tyranny better be multi-layered, with some using methods intended to get "one step back" while others use methods that lead elsewhere. CrimethInc is stressing the importance of anarchist methods, and that is good.
Meanwhile, people who can work via courts, should keep obstructing Trump in courts. I would even encourage them. For federal employees, time to choose will come - will they take orders from the government or courts? I would encourage them to choose the latter.
For members of the Congress, a choice will come at some point (likely after 2 years): will they impeach or tiptoe along party lines? For members of the Secret Service, another question is constant: will they diligently protect their client, or get disillusioned and let him down?
Grassroot methods of resistance are a more gradual process. They can start right now, and run along everything else. At first, nobody will notice them, but if they work, later nobody can stop them.
It's hard to predict what will work in the end.
My only solid advise to Americans is: just try to avoid a civil war, because then almost everyone loses.

The title reeks of tribalism and all-or-nothing-ness.
-
Well, how about you read the article then instead? It might explain the title 😜
-
It’s such a good article.
-
I think they are pointing out an important issue - while the content clearly explains, the title could make some just think "ugh" and move on.
I think its a valid criticism. Just my opinion obviously.
-
I didn't comment on the content, which is basically fine. I commented on the title.

Accelerationist much?
Luigi shot one CEO, now there's an app for armed guard Uber. Some kid is going to throw an egg at a boss and get gunned down by private security.

Funny how often I've seen the word "accelerationist" thrown around lately, and generally at pretty much anyone who calls for fighting back against the deliberate wholesale destruction of American democracy and liberty.

Luigi shot a CEO.
The only change is that now the CEOs have better security.
It's progress if you're a security goon who needs a paycheck, but it doesn't change the status quo.
To me, an accelerationist is anyone who goes for the big, spalshy gesture that does nothing.
Which do you think is really going to scare Musk more; a dozen people getting shot, or 50 million new voters registered in the next six months?

Your post does a poor job of conveying your point.
"Someone throwing an egg may get killed" - sure, and irrelevant from the viewpoint of evaluating whether Trump's career might end with an impact (which is not the topic of the article, I should note). For a meaningful evaluation of that different topic, I recommend reading about Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and Mossad's venture to end his life.

Considering the blithely ignorant place that content sprouts from, smart money's on you being white AF and enchantingly naive on topics involving the history of systemic oppression anywhere. 😅😶
Thafuq do you think gem mines run on, for example? Happy thoughts? Ask the nepo stain currently worming his way up Trump's tired old gape.

You funny.
Here's a quote from the intro to the site.
"Feel free to ask questions here. We aspire to make this space a safe space."
I guess you're the kind of anarchist who like to make up rules for other people.
"Anarchism" and "accelerationism" are two different things.
And, BTW, Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Marx were also white AF.
