If you replace “solution” with “method of destruction,” it makes much more sense. 👍

I think 50 years of failure show that it’s NOT strategically valuable, unless you’re trying to maintain the status quo to get rich off “public service.”

🤮 Consumers buying things they can’t live without? Or buying the little things they probably don’t need, but make life in this neoliberal hellscape a little better? Or lavish shit they don’t need? There’s a big difference there…

Lol, you think the people are still fooled by your fake socialism that’s just fascism in a hat?

BAHAHA!! Did you just challenge me to a fight at the playground? You’re a fucking child.

You’re a troll and likely a subversive, since you’re obviously trying to rage bait me. I know all the tactics, comrade. So listen to me. Your time is over. You’re going to lose. The people are bringing change and we will remember.

What takes more courage? Firing a weapon from cover and fleeing back to the shadows or standing without one to confront evil and proclaim before God and man that if they want to continue they’ll have to go through you?
comment in response to post
Lol, “weakling” “coward,” you sure like throwing those words around. Sounds like projection to me. The courageous don’t need to proclaim it, their actions do that. I faced death three times on deployment and I’ve never felt the need to be “macho” like you.

Dude, I just showed you an example that refutes everything you just said. At this point, you’re clearly just a troll.

Otpor literally had a violent, authoritarian regime with a corrupt election system, and they STILL removed the dictator by overwhelming the election. So who’s laughing now? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otpor
comment in response to post
I already showed you examples of dictators that had been removed. You pretending that didn’t happen? You’re confusing non violent civil resistance with pacifism. That’s not what got the civil rights act. It’s not what freed South Africa from apartheid. You’re blind.

You can cherry pick all you want, but for every violent success, I can show you NINE failures. That's because over the past 15 years it's down to 10% success. Compared to the 50% success overall for non-violent campaigns. Even when they win, they fail long-term.
comment in response to post
What about 100% success rate do you not understand? I handed you the research, but here it is again: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-JP... How's violence worked out for Hamas over 50 years? Shia vs Sunni Muslims? South Africa, which won AFTER shifting to a non-violent campaign.
comment in response to post
Was Dr. King a coward? Gandhi? They died for their cause. The people don't want violence, YOU do, because you're obviously a violent person who ignores reason and evidence. You want to take on the world's most advanced, well-funded law enforcement and military? Good luck with that.

Wow, you should send your extensive research to Erica Chenoweth, she's going to be so disappointed that everything she wrote in her book based off years of extensive research was wrong.
comment in response to post
Let me explain something to you. The fascists WANT the people to turn to violence. That will be the quickest and easiest way for them to put us down, lock us up, and maintain power forever.

BAHAHA! Do I "believe" in empirical evidence? It doesn't matter if you "believe" in it, it's science, not santa claus. Watch the video. By every measure, non-violent campaigns outpace violent ones over the past 100 years. Here's just a small list:

According to Erica Chenoweth's empirical evidence, non-violent civil resistance campaigns have a 100% success rate when able to mobilize at least 3.5% of the population.

Not only do violent campaigns have an incredibly low success rate, even they win it tend towards authoritarian governments in the long term. Non-violent civil resistance has a much higher rate of success, short term & long term. 100% if 3.5% are mobilized; www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-JP...

I WISH Biden had the courage to actually use his damn power to stop the fascists.

Oh gawd, won’t someone PLEASE think of the bankers! The FED has never done anything but rip off the American people. So will the orange tyrant, but he won’t be in charge forever. We’re bringing change and we’re not waiting for the Democrats to get their shit together.

You’re right, there have been stable anarchic societies. Fun fact, Lincoln also believed in ultimate reconciliation (aka Christian Universalism), which was the orthodox position the first 600 years of the Church.

I know you neoliberals think raping our planet is so great, but the day of reckoning is coming and we will remember what side you were on.

Honest question, what media do you think isn't wholly complicit? I could name a bare handful, tops.
