      After Ballot and Before Ammo is Street. It’s an important stage because if you can’t get enough people in the street then the ammo box isn’t going to help you.

        In the frame of the four boxes, it’s actually the jury box. But seeing how the judiciary is getting stacked against us, it’s not a big stretch to say we’re at box four

          we’re at box four

          I keep hearing this claim, but I see vanishingly few people with any kind of serious militant intent.

          It seems like the “Ammo Box” is something nebulous ill-defined others do - be it a Silicon Valley Longtermist pilled vigilante like Luigi Mangione or a deranged horny Green Beret like Matthew Alan Livelsberger.

          There’s no actual progressive militia movement in the US.

              If you’re too terrified to flaunt your affiliations and organize openly, you aren’t a serious threat to an establishment.

                  Not until the US/UK threatened landfall in '41. Most of French resistance activity amounted getting leadership and equipment hidden before the Nazis could secure control over territory. They died in droves to do little more than prick the German war machine.

                  As counterintelligence, they were grand. German military reports leaked like a sieve throughout France, once the Allies reclaimed a beachhead. But as a fighting force, they were next to worthless.

          You still really, like really need to fit street in there somewhere. If you skip it you risk a Les Misérables situation. Dying on the barricade for nothing.
