"Cloth" on Molotov cocktail is made from a bread tie. Otherwise you will also need glue, jump rings , earring hooks and an eyelet screw. You could probably use a bit of wire instead of the eyelet screw if you have that instead.

Prints fast and easy.

Free and commercial free too. https://makerworld.com/models/1392048

These are symbols. I'm not advocating for vandalism.

Honestly I got the idea from games I play that have bricks and Molotovs.

Im not promoting their use. They are symbols of feelings that many of us are having right now. Just like the guillotine.

But we aren't going around building guillotines. At present, Ive not seen any riots in the U.S nor use of either of these except on Nazi cars on dealership lots.

You idiots are so dead if there's ever a real conflict.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Probably, yeah, but there's no need to be mean about it.

No, I'm sorry, but there is absolutely a need to be mean about fetishising arson.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i dont know if its a fetish to burn fascists, but the idea of it does bring pleasure.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The people throwing these things tend to hit random things on the street they happen to be in rather than the actual fascists or their property more often than not. Protest, get rowdy and loud, try to change things...but fucking concentrate that shit on the people that deserve it and not just the random shit you see in front of you.

burning teslas and cybertrucks seemed to work pretty well at damaging the source of income and leverage for elon, tesla stock. scared the formerly indifferent or elon sympathetic owners into selling or trading away their vehicles, and gave an example on wide spread sabotage and its effects. militant or violent action has its place along side protesting when fighting fascism.

a molotov is merely a tool, much like a gun, when in the hands of a person with directed intent. if our representatives blink, and fail us in times of strife. people get creative with what they have.

it is what it is. if you feel more comfortable protesting, then do that. but there are many fronts when fighting fascism. sometimes holding signs and yelling isnt enough. change happens when they fear the alternative more than they want to achieve their goals.

if you want to target them directly, perhaps buy a gun and do it yourself, or maybe a drone with a pay load, and learn their schedules. if thats not for you, then keep organizing and protesting. its up to you how you fight it.

accidents happen, sure, but i think one side cares about "accidents" a lot less than the person throwing the molotov.

This is so lame.

Wow. Way to stick it to man with your symbolism non-symbolism that's how people feel but not you.

Like you want to care but not too much that it looks uncool. Action at full arms length so as not to do anything
Your lack of conviction is lame and so is this.

How dare someone make art that represents their feelings toward current events.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Uhh no they say this was from games that have bricks and molotov cocktails in it. Nothing to do with cultural events. Just look at the post.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

I did. Specifically this part:

Im not promoting their use. They are symbols of feelings that many of us are having right now. Just like the guillotine.

But we aren’t going around building guillotines. At present, Ive not seen any riots in the U.S nor use of either of these except on Nazi cars on dealership lots.>>

Art requires comviction and purpose and they literally say they were inspired by game items.

If they are keeping their "art" at arms length to avoid making to loud of a statement in it, then I am well within my right to call it lame.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I could draw genterbent sonic bukake with broken restuarant crayons and it would still be art.

In a way, even the act of gatekeeping art is kind of a performance piece. You, my friend, are an artist.

@Krauerking @Ceedoestrees All you're right to do is cut the crap with your trolling about "you aren't protesting enough to make me impressed" bullshit 😀

If you don't have "thank you" or anything constructive to discuss how to improve the model, then you're out of topic and that's what I do call lame

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Why the hell are you calling me out? I was complimenting the model as a statement.
