Explains a lot of ignorance in general tbh

Legitimately, the majority of people would still miss the signs. People just don’t want to admit how little we truly pay attention to what is around us at any given moment. Our minds filter out so much information before we even have a chance to process it.

We have socially conditioned ourselves to ignore signage if we aren’t specifically looking for it. 99% of signage in today’s world is usually just an ad being shoved into your face trying to sell something. It is a bombardment of annoying and intrusive information to the point our minds have trained themselves to filter the visual noise out. It is literally too much for our mind to process, so most of it gets deleted from our consciousness in the same way the hole in your vision from your optical nerve is being hidden from your perception unless you specifically expose it.

Good thing they weren’t specifically talking about billboards and instead were speaking to the much broader spectrum of advertising strategies.

The State itself kills way more than any negative effects of burning down one of their institutions.

Those services are provided to people through the distribution of resources to communities that need them. The state only exists to control how this happens, and predominantly works to frustrate these efforts in order to facilitate profit growth for the capitalist market.

As an Anarchist, yes, I fully believe a stateless society would be leagues better than one that suffers under an unjust hierarchy that only exists to serve the interests of capital.

Nice red herring though with the last point. Never said other States would just sit idly by. Which is why forms of defense will still need to be organized and there are many different ways to organize community defense that don’t rely on a state hierarchy.

Burning a State building only burns down a building, nothing more.

What a myopic take…

State Buildings are not people, why should we have empathy for inanimate objects? Militant organizations exist to defend people from systemic oppression (at least leftist ones do, cannot say the same for the right wing types) specifically because they empathize with the plight of those being oppressed.
