Is the obsession of every politician with telling people to be peaceful just a distraction from the actual purpose of the protests? Like i cant help but think they will turn on a dime once one protestor does something violent, even if its self-defense. And then you'll have all the libs going "they shouldve been peaceful"
Reminds me of Lenin dunking on Plekhanov's "They should not have taken up arms"
It is bigtime that, but it is also a distraction from the fact that activists are getting shot at and arrested for blocking ICE vans in an effort to prevent them from black-bagging people's fucking aunts and uncles. The activists attempting to STOP the state's arbitrary and capricious use of violence end up being smeared as the violent ones. The whole point is that the violence is ALREADY HAPPENING and will continue unless it is prevented by direct action.
