What kicked off the boomerbashing all of a sudden?
A bunch of overfed Amerikwan MAGAts decided to tell millennials and Gen Z to get used to eating worse than medieval serfs because pissrael is more important
Cops are basically free, they're just wandering around on the street - sometimes they'll even just come to your house. And if you snatch one, the government will give you SO MUCH MONERO to get it back.
@cjd @KekistaniWanderer @Terry @TrevorGoodchild Organ traffickers will give you more for pieces of it than the government will for the whole thing. 
You underestimate how much the govt will pay to make a Problem go away.
In the 70s during The Troubles, the IRA was able to even get their guys released from prison - just by killing so many cops that the govt was worried they would actually run out...

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz The IRA were great. US version when
There used to be The Weathermen and related organizations.
Govt went insane about surveillance and ended up building the internet so that nobody could hide from them.
I think if you pose a serious threat, they prefer to pay you off to be quiet rather than risk making a scene - so we just don't know how many times something like this has happened.

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz I'm a few schematics lessons away from planting bombs somewhere right now if this country doesn't shape up soon lol.
Most bombs are surprisingly ineffective because they're not HUGE, and most things survive explosions fairly well. Shootings have much higher lethality than bombings, for example.
Two counter-examples:
1. Mining a navigable river - because you punch a hole in a 20mn$ boat and put it on the bottom of the river, blocking any other boats from passing until it's cleaned up.
2. Air-fuel bombs - particularly propane tanks because they have compressive energy which pushes the fuel out once whatever explosive fractures the tank, and they also have a lot of chemical energy. You need a separate ignition source from the primary explosive, e.g. a road flare. Bonus points if you fill the tank 1/4 full of diesel before charging it with propane, because the diesel and liquid propane will dissolve together and when it goes out, it carries diesel mist with it.
On another topic: Private jets are INSANELY vulnerable to small infrared-seeking rockets if they're near the airport.
BTW: Doing this stuff is of course illegal, but talking about it isn't, and BUYING THE MATERIALS isn't either. And it jams up surveillance systems. Home made fireworks = civil disobedience...

@cjd@pkteerium.xyz Honestly you need soldiers more than anything else. You get ten guys willing to go postal together that's worth more than any bomb. It's just fun to talk about explosions because they sound edgy
"Catgirl Kulak" (Anarchonomicon) wrote quite a bit on this - how to build up capabilities and begin managing a civil war. The key point is that you need to be making money. What you're doing needs to look a lot more like organized crime than actually "fighting".
