  • Ok then, tell me, when in a position where the forces that dictate government/law have come to a fundamental, ideological, irreconcilable, impasse, and your life is at stake, what do you do? What do you do when the political momentum is quickly moving into a position where you will die from it, and every check, and balance, has just been ignored? Please tell me your plan.

    Those campaigns were surrounded with violence. That is why they worked. Riots, killings, people getting beat up, people fighting police. the police committing acts of violence, etc., not having concerted, armed, resistance, does not mean non-violent. Like you say the threat of the violence they could see, getting bigger, is the reason to reach out to the non-violent party for diplomacy. But the threat has to be real.

    I have killed someone in my life. I am not telling anyone to kill anyone either. I am pointing out the pure fact that we have never resolved the progress of human right without violence, and you are naive to think we could do it this time. If you don’t want to kill people, I understand, it sucks, I know. However, thinking we can move forward without having violence is wrong, it has been happening for a while. The right has been routinely committing acts of terror for years now. They pulled the peace option off the table a long time ago.
