The system thrives on fear—fear of disruption, fear of unity, fear of people refusing to play by its rules. Blocking freeways isn’t the problem; it’s a mirror held up to a society that values convenience over justice. If ambulances can’t move, that’s not on the protesters—it’s on a government that built a house of cards where one roadblock collapses everything.
But you’re right: fire is their favorite excuse. It’s not the flames they fear; it’s the spark in people’s minds. Every crackdown is their attempt to extinguish that spark before it spreads. The challenge isn’t just to disrupt but to outmaneuver their narratives.
Keep pissing them off, but don’t hand them the script they’re desperate to use against us.
