Like any strategic approach, this approach works best in specific conditions. In particular it works most effectively in challenging a regime, law or practice maintained by violence, because that very violence plays into the kind of ‘throwing technique’ whereby the non-violent activist uses the state’s own violence against it. Such movements can thus, by disobeying the unjust law, take the violence that necessarily maintains it – violence that is normally concealed behind acquiescence to the law – and abruptly surface it. Notably in the above examples, protestors are not doing something unrelated to their cause to draw attention but rather in refusing to support the day-to-day function of colonial rule or by sitting at a specific lunch counter these actions surface the specific violence maintaining that specific law. It follows that laws, practices or regimes whose connection to violence is more indirect are much harder to challenge with these strategies.7 Because – and this is important to continue stressing – these methods are about messaging because the ‘target’ is will, so the clarity of the message matters quite a lot.

7. Perhaps the classic example are climate protests blocking traffic: the relationship between the disruption and the protest action, while not non-existent, is obscure. When protestors are arrested, it is not because of the violence inherent in carbon emissions, but because blocking traffic is illegal which prompts observers not to assess if carbon policy is unjust (probably), but if laws against blocking traffic are unjust (probably not). It is a lot harder to protest complex economic interactions precisely because the violence sustaining those interactions (to the degree they are sustained by violence at all) is very indirect and remote and thus hard to directly and visibly surface.

devereaux is a criminally underrated track

i really did start ugly crying when will introduced devereaux. he was sort of talking about driving around small towns in virginia recently and how devereaux is from that type of town too. where there’s more landscape than there are people. and how it’s so hard to be different in places like that. and how you don’t fit in there but when you leave you don’t fit in in the new place either because you’ve still got too much of that small town in you. and i dunno! as a girl who grew up in an incredibly small and close minded town in virginia and not feeling like I’ve ever been able to be myself it just really hits hard.

when my classmates started to speculate about me being a lesbian, it became the talk of the entire school and it fucking destroyed me. it was something i hadn’t come to terms with and honestly something i still haven’t made peace with and I wasn’t ready for everyone to know. i wished to be straight or maybe just to die and everyone knowing felt like the end of the world. i don’t know of a single person in my high school who was openly lgbt so yeah, i did feel like a circus freak

and now in college (at Will’s alma mater !!!!) in a (slightly!) more liberal area (got harassed last week for holding hands with my girlfriend) many of my friends are lgbt, but most of themhaving grown up in cities, they don’t outwardly seem to face the same struggles with internalized homophobia that I’ve faced my entire life. and im so jealous that to them it is simply okay to not be straight! i really see myself in devereaux. I don’t fit in at home and lie to family and coworkers, but I dont quite fit in at university either. i don’t think I’ve ever felt as seen as I have by car seat headrest’s music and I think thats why it holds such a special piece of my heart. not to be sappy but to see will toledo in person after his music has been with me and guided me through so much was truly special. maybe things will be okay
