The Weather Underground strongly opposed the Vietnam War, seeing it as a form of U.S. imperialism. They believed that traditional protests, like marches and sit-ins, weren’t enough to stop the war, so they turned to more extreme measures. Instead of just speaking out, they took direct action, attacking institutions they felt were fueling the war, such as Harvard’s Center for International Affairs. They also supported Vietnam and saw their fight as part of a bigger movement against oppression worldwide. Rejecting nonviolence, they encouraged sabotage and attacks on government buildings to disrupt the war effort. Their approach marked a shift from peaceful demonstrations to active resistance, believing that real change required revolution within the U.S. itself.
