Maybe, but I would say that putting property destruction as a valid form of proletariat protest in the media is ultimately a good thing even if people aren’t doing it. Once people realize that direct action is possible they will be inclined to start organizing.
Put me on the jury and I don’t think it’s a crime. What I’m wary of is making a spectacle out of perceived adventurism and it making us think there’s a revolutionary moment that isn’t actually there. Agitating around Luigi and by extension the one arsonist we can name is its own thing. Those are real events with real public support behind them. If we start indulging patterns that don’t actually exist we misread the situation and end up looking silly.
