So what exactly are you doing to help, then? Holding signs up at your weekly protests that are authorized by the police? It’s easy to criticize people when you aren’t doing shit yourself.
Nothing was ever accomplished with peaceful protest, especially not protest that’s sanctioned and scheduled by the authorities.
But I wouldn’t expect a liberal to acknowledge that. Leftists get in the streets, liberals stay in the tweets. You question Trumps methods, but not his power, because once he’s gone, whatever corporate-owned millionaire you appoint will need that power when it comes time to put the boot on the necks of anti-genocide or civil rights protesters.
Im actually a libertarian who supports escalating the movement. I also believe politicians need to be reminded to fear the people. But strawman me away. I think we may have more in common than you think.
It’s been said in some studies that most of the successful resistances to authoritarian regimes rely on peaceful, not violent resistance. That has surprised me too, but it does help to snowball a much larger movement. It makes people less resistant to participating, and also much harder for the news to demonize. Many people that I’ve spoken to say they hate what’s happening, but are afraid to speak out - and they often change their mind when they see others taking stands too.
We understand events like April 5 do not cause immediate change, but it’s highly likely they’ve had slower effects. Harvard choosing to resist the administration, or the Supreme Court ruling in favor of Garcia, might not have happened if they hadn’t seen how much of the nation opposes that administration.
It’s obvious that those studies did not take place in the United States, because it’s historical fact that none of the rights Americans have were ever achieved through peaceful protest.

They’re telling their allies to leave the country because they don’t like the words they say. They might as well just join the conservatives.

Right. So you’re not doing anything.
God you defeatists are insufferable. Peaceful protests are the START of these movements. We’re starting the ball rolling.

You’re just diet fascism.
