I just went down to our local lib demonstration. All I could really feel was depressed. All those people waving signs but I wonder how many are willing to do anything more than that? Shit most of them were pretty old, tbh. I approached some people I clocked as comrades but I was very awkward and we didn’t have a conversation.
I guess I don’t really have a question here. Just feel like everybody has identified (some of) the problems, but have totally misidentified the solutions. Will these protests ever accomplish anything? Can we radicalize the protestors without them having to get beaten by cops? Or is that what it will take?
Ah yes, the hexbear appeal to extremism to force a violent conflict.
You guys really are transparent, да?
Thank you for taking your valuable time from sniffing glue to make this insightful comment.
A state committing a genocide, locking up those whom act or even speak against it, and deporting our fellow workers. Not a violent conflict.
Organizing those into a coherent mass capable of challenging the above. A violent conflict.
Silly tankies, the correct way to fight fascism is to make funny signs then post them on Reddit
How do you feel about the Boston tea party I wonder
Can you explain your point of view? I took a peek at your post history, and you seem to recognize the problems. How do you see this playing out? Do you expect that Trump will eventually notice these (very tame) protests and see the error of his ways? Are you still expecting him to be held accountable in some way, by congress or the courts?
Regarding violent conflict: it is already happening. The genocide in Palestine rages on, and students are beaten and disappeared for daring to speak out. Immigrants of every legal status are being snatched off of our streets and sent to concentration camps. Further horrors are in the pipeline. Can you imagine a scenario when violent resistance is the most appropriate response? Can you describe it for me, and tell me why the current situation doesn’t qualify?
