Honestly I don’t know what’s going on in the USA. You’re so proud of your “democracy and freedom” yet one of your 2 political parties is able to effectively dismantle the entire thing in less than a decade. You’re now one election away from being a christofascist state.
…and yet you’re all just going to work tomorrow. You’re all doing pretty much nothing except “make sure you vote in 2024.” So I guess every 4 years you’re going to be one election away from a literal Nazi takeover?
I don’t know. Riot or something. I have no idea how you’re all coping so hard.
Perhaps, before suggesting people engage in violence or protest, you should do some research as to why they don’t, why it hasn’t occurred to them; what is the resistance?
It’s not an easy rabbit hole to follow, and I had to do the dive, myself. Heck, I was so certain the world by now would have a constitution wiki in which every national charter was translated. It would feature a workshop area where legal scholars could hone clauses like including ranked choice voting into US federal elections. Because so many improvements are no-brainers.
Eventually I realized such a beast didn’t exist, and legal scholars aren’t into that. It raises the question: why?
So, for now I’m going to say, just like yesterday, you should get on your knees and pray we don’t get fooled again.
The way you put it… are these two similar to you?
Violence is something where you absolutely need to think twice. In all cases.
Protest is something very, very neccessary in your current situation.
You’re not wrong there, but if you are at the “wrong” protest or the wrong skin color, you can easily find yourself in jail, the hospital, or dead from protesting peacefully.
Sad. But then it creates more protests against that (hopefully).
Be glad, because you have the chance to become a martyr, and you don’t even need to die along the way.
