    Are we at the point where Americans actually defend their democracy and vulnerable citizens yet? No? Just gonna write up a new protest sign while we wait for more people to die?

    They are stealing your country and murdering your neighbours. Wake the fuck up. Organize. Protest. Strike. Resist.

          What did they got out of that, though? Violence without a goal is just as ineffective. If argue they are bring more harm to the movement than doing nothing. If you have a specific goal you’re trying to achieve, violence could be a legitimately good way to obtain that goal.

        Can’t forget the lovely chants!

        (But I get the feeling OC wants something more than protests and strikes. And considering they’re apparently not American, I suggest their rhetoric is not actually in our interests.)

      You’re asking on .world, where the instance admins take a “both sides are the same” approach in addition to a “no advocating violence” against the established order.
