not only that people not close to areas of violence are still too content, because they have thier creature comforts with them.
How about not voting for soon to be dictators? Violence is not needed
define back on track
Not fascism?
you mean covert fascism. many of the elements were there, it's just out in the open now.
That's your interpretation, but this could also be an indicator of fascists becoming more violent. Which is terrifying.
Haha, it'll never happen.
Most are too complacent, comfortable, and mollycoddled to do anything. They'll just try to wait it out and hope that it'll change at the next election ...not realising that if there is a next election that it'll probably be rigged, to quote the orange child rapist himself "you'll never need to vote again, we've got it sorted".
The daft thing is you don't need to have a massive civil war to end this bullshit. You just need some backbone and to target the orange paedo from all directions and not let him have any time or space to do his evil shit. Then once he's out, or dead from the inevitable stress induced heart attack, go after his cronies. He's the biggest manbaby that's ever lived, use it against him.
doing infrequent protests hasnt helped one bit especially if not large numbers like other countries do it, if the enemy knows you arnt going for thier HEADS, they will just laugh and move on.
also people are unwilling to boycott/generally strike, because they sitll have thier creature comforts, plus all the propaganda against protesters in general, i think the staged eco-protests(the ones that defaced public things, were funded by the oil/gas industry) over the years was just testing the waters.
If the people of America violently revolt en masse, I reckon it’s a 50-50 call if the military backs the Government or the People.
The military would almost certainly split.
In which case the likely outcome would be the establishment of 2 separate counties?
Like East and West Germany? north and South Korea?
This is exactly how it's being orchestrated. Pit the people against each other so the politicians and wealthy can get away with literal murder.
We are being governed by the "Epstein Elite", literal pedophiles and sex traffickers and the idiots that kneel to them.
culture wars crap= aka, anti-wokeness, antivaxx, anti-trans.
not class wars=billionaires vs the not .01%
Which track we talking about lol
It's worked to found the nation and gain independence. It worked to ensure slavery ended. It worked in both world wars. Americans have no problem using it in every single country in Latin America and the middle east. What's good for the goose...
1775: Breaking News, there's a growing number of colonists who think violence is necessary...
if this comes to violence, I will be slaughtered. not because I plan to fight, but because trans people have been so thoroughly villianized by the Right. I won't hurt a soul, but I expect to be hurt.
violence would be a catastrophe.
its a step closer to controlling women in general, its the endgame. because most transphobia has been happening to transgendered women, more than men who FTM. Also it creates another problem, by mislabeling non-transgedered women as well, i knew a family member that was misgendered by a demographic other than caucasians that specifically is wierdly obsessed with them.
All transgender medical therapy is being made illegal. That's violence. Another step up the genocide ladder.
yep. that's why me and everyone I know is prepping to DIY. they can pry my estradiol from my cold, dead hands.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
I hate that I agree with this.
Humans can be so much more than violent cavemen, but we aren't there quite yet.

it always is, at some point non-violent protests usually becomes a vaccinating point of the aggressors, they ignore it if they see no real threat to thier power. now the fascists is trying to agitate violence to use more force.
eg, occupy wallstreet protest.
This administration & foreign influence does nothing but stoke conflict to keep everyone divided while they steal land housing resources pewpews food supplies literally selling the country out
God forbid any of these divided groups find common ground
russia specifically is doing this, so the USA/EU cant unify agains tthem, thats why you see rises in far-right govt all over the place, russia funds them and supplies them with a constant stream of propaganda and money. why do you think all speak like TRUMP do, or tulsi gabbard.
also a side-bonus russia funds white supremecists groups to further that.
I’ve always been happy to be Canadian, but the current state of things in the US… I mean, we’ve got our problems, but god damn. My friends aren’t in danger of being disappeared by government agents because they’re not pale white.

That is exactly what Trump and his people in the background want: An escalation of violence so they can use the military in their own country against the population and subsequently abolish free elections.
Apparently that's what Russia has been doing too: using propaganda, trolls and bots to make the left and right hate each other to the point of violence. They've been doing this in all western countries.
its call foundation of geopolitics by a russian ultranationalist.

FTFY
Apparently that’s what Israel has been doing too: using propaganda, trolls and bots to make the left and right hate each other to the point of violence. They’ve been doing this in all western countries.
they came much later, but they saw the value of the russia one, and copied them.

Well if an ICE officer stops my husband based on his appearance we’ve both agreed that we should resist that arrest.
That would end in violence and probably our deaths. What else can we do? Let them take us god knows where?
And after all that training we've had to never let kidnappers take you to a secondary location! There really isn't another choice.
Depending on how the question was worded Im willing to bet a large portion of those means violence against the lunatic leftists.
