‘Rebel Alliance’ Guides Protesters in Campus Escalation

An online platform known as the “rebel alliance” is actively responding to the ongoing protests on college campuses. They provide analysis and guidance on the tactics of escalating violence, particularly in dealings with law enforcement.

Identified as CrimethInc.com, the website describes itself as “a secret society devoted to promoting crimethink.”

They urge protesters to occupy buildings whenever feasible, as seen in the instructions provided during the Cal Poly Humboldt protests.

Regarding the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the instruction is clear: “Organizers should prioritize being dynamic and confronting law enforcement, rather than focusing on de-escalation or maintaining peace.”

For the University of Texas, the emphasis is on forcing out the police and remaining mobile rather than getting into prolonged confrontations.

Amidst over 2,300 protesters being arrested on campuses, CrimethInc.com continues to urge protesters to persist and not back down.

CrimethInc.com advocates for a continuous and bold approach by stating, “Every concession obtained through an occupation that leads to disbandment will only set the stage for larger atrocities.”

The website emphasizes the importance of maintaining ongoing encampments and sustaining a confrontational spirit to preserve the potential for political change.
