Boy, it sure would be a real shame if people did that sort of thing. Like tragic even. Hell I might even shed a tear! (If I'm chopping onions when I hear about it)
-
It seems that government agencies recommend very good stories with their warnings and bans.
-
Should have called it "How to 'Not' blow up a pipeline".
Would probably have fooled the powers that be (stupid).
-
Hey FBI....
-
Is that Barbie Streisands house?
-
-
haven't seen it, but trailer very good: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21440780/
Anyway. explosives. detonator optional. Fire can work.
-
I don't say carry sand in your pockets because pocket sand shashasha. Well not just because that. It's because of the OSS Manual of Subtle Sabotage.
-
I enjoyed the movie. I like how it shows concrete ways in which people can be affected by the matter at hand. Not a "polar bears on thin ice" or similar, but actual effects on everyday people (not that polar bears don't matter)

Movie ads are getting smarter these days

Someone please make "How to dismantle the Federalist Society"
-
Even the right-wing reviewers who hate the premise admit it's a well written film in the vein of heist thrillers.
It's a really good movie. Not particularly useful if you actually want to destroy something - they were careful to get a consultant to make sure they didn't break any laws or create liability for themselves or the studio. If you didn't see it in theatre, you missed out! I'm really glad the feds are wringing their hooves over it, it deserved much better marketing. It is destined to become a cult classic.

Related, there's actually a rundown on a bunch of the opsec problems with it: https://anarchist-archive.org/library/en/hakan-geijer-popsec-how-not-to-blow-up-a-pipeline
It's a good story, and would be extremely bad to follow as a recipe. But it would be a good movie to watch with a very small group of like-minded friends.
-
The beauty of it is -- the people you go with don't have to be 'like-minded.' You can enjoy Oceans Eleven without endorsing theft, you can enjoy HTBUAP without endorsing sabotage. If your friends feel it crosses a line, that's a very interesting post-film discussion: Why isn't it disturbing for people to root against the 'house' in Oceans? Is it okay to break the law to get rich, but not to do it for justice?

The producers of the movie: "Thank you for the free publicity! Now far more people will watch our movie than every would have otherwise."
-
The Streisand effect all over again.

-
sounds like it's the movie to see this year :~)
-
The movie is from 2022: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Blow_Up_a_Pipeline_(film)

if the fascists hate the movie this badly it is probably good and everyone should watch it. i'm looking it up.
-
It's a good movie, but like others have noted, this is not how you do it. 90% of blowing up a pipeline is community building, being able to get the gear you need and carry it out with a lot of people knowing and being able to trust that they won't rat you out. But it turns out when you have a community like that, well, you don't need to blow up the pipeline, you can just lobby the government.
-
Lobbying is "begging for permission" from people who have been paid to not care. "Direct action gets the goods."
-
I'm sure they're less worried about the "hows" of it all, than just the promotion of the idea in popular thought.
-

I haven't seen the movie yet; in which country is it set?
-
-
It's on Hulu or was It's where I watched it not long ago and it was good.
-
turns out i already watched it lol
-
-
FBI must not be familiar with the Streisand effect
-
and violent video games inspire kids to become murderers
-
one reason solar is a great energy source is it’s decentralized
-
Also, How to blow up a solar panel seems a bit boring, honestly.
-
Those giant solar arrays where they focus all the energy up at one tower would be badass to blow up.
Don't do it, we desperately need more of those, but I imagine it would be sparkly.

sadly, no - you still need high quality silica, and advanced facilities to manufacture the photovoltaics. Imagine it like you buying coal and using coal to power your house. yes this coal is cleaner, and runs for 10-20 years, but there are not many coal plants.
-
I liked it. Not exactly a "how to" movie but a nice escape fantasy. The East has similar eco terrorism vibes but it tries to focus on too much and misses the mark. HTBUAP is dead on focused on destroying a pipeline and tells that story well.
-
So do they destroy the pipeline or merely damage a part of it?
-
-
Wow, I really hope no one writes "How to Blow Up a Fractionating Column With a $20 Drone." Pipelines are pretty easy to mass produce, but attacks on distillation towers like we've seen come out of Ukraine can knock out a refinery for years.
-
Have they put it up on a torrent tracker?
-
it's available through a lot of libraries through kanopy
-
Oh no, how awful........
-
Hopefully.
-
Great movie btw
-
I'm sharing it on soulseek if anyone wants it. Use nicotine++, better client.
-
cool
-
Maybe don’t bring this book

I would like to thank the federal government for raising awareness that this movie exists. Wouldn't have happened without them.
the book is also good
