      Maybe just…

      More seriously: nothing, because the Gulf of Mexico has seen more than enough pollution.

              IMO the capitalists, the politicians, and the cops broke whatever social contract ever existed. Your neighbors, as much assholes as they might be, whatever box they ticked on the ballot box, were caught up in the breakage. You don’t have to like them, hell you don’t even need to forgive them, but please understand that it is the systems that need to be destroyed. And if we have to destroy any people, let them be the monsters who drive the system (capitalists and politicians) and the people who inflict that violence upon us (cops, ICE).

            Just in case anybody has doubts, I gave an unserious answer to an unserious question. It was mostly just a turn of phrase.

            I believe that violence should basically only be used to stop violence.

          That would be a large portion of the country. Last I checked, I don’t know of many, if any, politicians who voted “No!” when the time came. So unless I’m mistaken and some did, you’d be polluting the ocean and because the average American is like 300lbs ( source: I made it the fuck up ), we’d just end up damming it up and causing devastation.

          But then you’ll need to weigh them down. Pre-corpsed Republicans is cheaper than chains and weights, but I have to admit that the other method may be more satisfying.

      If we can stop things ending up in the Gulf, instead of polluting it -

      Stop fertilizer runoff and disappear oil rigs, move all hotels back from the beach by a quarter mile or so.

      If that option is unavailable, Ron Desantis, Rick Scott, Ashley Moody and Beth Bondi, Citizens United, and the gerrymandered voting district maps.
