Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
You're viewing part of a thread.
What a ridiculous statement.
Naw it's perfectly rational, cowboy.
You want people to start fucking shooting, so pull a fucking trigger buddy. Go to town, go get fucking kinetic.
You won't though, because like all you hardcore leftists on here, you are all 'academic' and zero action.
This is precisely why the democrats don't court you guys. You could get 80% of what you want for a candidate, and stay home because of the 20% that isn't rainbows and unicorns.
This is an online forum. It's words. Your idea that the people you're talking to are all talk is unfalsifiable. If anyone did post on here about pulling a trigger you could attack them for being all talk for exactly that same reason.
On this forum, you are also all talk. There is literally nothing else you can do on here.
But go off, everybody around you is all talk, all the time. That certainly isn't a feature of the place you chose to express your vapid rants.
People who are organising on the ground are under no obligation to keep you in the loop by posting about it publicly, especially given you clearly aren't interested in helping anyway.
My guess is your accusations are all a projection of your own feelings of powerlessness. I mean there's not going to be another election for about 4 more years, and your only method of change is useless until then.
Gee, I wonder if that's by design?
Well said.
Lol, you think I'm the one who's 'all talk' when this dude wants other people to get violent for him.
Sure thing pal.
There's only one person here who's actually telling other people to get violent.
In this thread.
And it's you, not the person you're accusing.
Lol, sure bud.
You want receipts?
And please, keep giving me your one downvote, it's not a sad & pathetic attempt to assert yourself that's transparent to anyone who happens to read this, not at all.
Telling someone to put their money where their mouth is, when they want other people to be violent, is not 'advocating for violence.'
It's calling out morons who want other people to fight their battles. ;)
Nice try though.
Asking for a historical example is not inciting violence, telling people to start shooting and put their money where their mouth is, is inciting violence, even if you're being sarcastic.
I wonder what you would consider as not "all talk"? Someone posting evidence? Gee, I wonder why people don't do that. I wonder if that's exactly what people engaging in direct action should never do.
I wonder how I can tell the difference between what you're doing now and how a fed would talk.
You are an idiot.
Look how you react while you argue that leftists are deranged violent psychopaths.
Psychopath.
Says the guy who wants other people to fight his battles for them.
This is what I said and you started right after my comment:
"Name one non-violent protest that changed the material conditions of those protesting, I'll wait."
Where do I advocate for other people to fight my battles for me?
Seek mental health, you need it.
