They would soak a bandana and wear it as prophylatic measure, maybe someone used to wash their eyes too, but the main thing was to use it soaked in a rag and wear it

It would useful as a treatment I guess but it's not good to mix stuff with tear gas in the moment, plain water is better.
I think this myth of milk is bc people think in milk against poisoning, like in Brazil will think in vinegar despite that not being usefully at all against teargas

Does if have to be refrigerated?
Don't worry about refrigeration, you can just scoop out the lumps and apply them directly to the eyes.

If it's like milk for spicy food, wherein the milk fat absorbs the spicy stuff, some sort of vegetable based oil may be better suited for external cleaning purposes.

I just did a very quick search and one blog says calendula might be used as an ocular anti-inflammatory. (Link) Could that be helpful, I wonder?
All speculation...

I'd never heard of it before til this post, but I know that water or sometimes saline solution are used to clean eyes of foreign debris, in my experience this works just fine. Also its cheaper.

No Idea how much, but I think water would be preferable/standard/good enough for cleaning someone's eyes.

What does this have to do with direct action?
Also people can be living in poverty and employed at the same time.
Also as an anarchist I dont really care how far left something is, as I don't think I'm on the left or have shared goals with leftists.
And Im not sure I want the UK to implement such a surveillance system that could really eliminate COVID, or anywhere else for that matter. The only reason China could attempt this was the scale of the surveillance state there before COVID. If the state builds up this capability you can be sure it won't only be used for sich relatively benign ends

sick ass shit
i saw this on anews and its the best thing ever. Feels like the essay/manifesto i wanted to write but couldnt. I just wish i could find more people to link up with, it feels like the people actually putting in work are more invisible, and the people who are easy to find are kids, politics nerds, and academics.

The normal and the abnormal, the citizen and the the criminal, and every variation of these dichotomies co-substantiate one another - which is to say that neither position offers us a way out.
We need neither words nor promises, but the steady accumulation of small realities.

Reply to activists drill hundreds of holes in the drainage pipe at the schleenhain open pit coal mine by kano
This action will likely put the mine offline for a day. Welders could have thaf patched up in a few hours, and then maybe another few hours for inspection. It certainly affects the bottom line, but likely in a trivial amount.
Now the security will be increased, making follow on actions more difficult.
Edit: not hating, just thinking critically
