It was never gonna happen, even if people believed it.
You want to fight authoritarianism? Be an example of disobedience. Violence activates authoritarian followers against you 100% of the time, but an act of defiance gives courage to people who would be your allies. Most people don't know how to defy authority, are taught not to. They need to be the second one to do it. It gets easier with practise, but it's hard to be the first one.
bullshit
non violence doesnt work if the fascist state is already doing violence against you. Performative protests change nothing
This. The fascists want militant action against them so they can overtly accelerate their own use of force exponentially. Until we have obvious overwhelming numbers, we have to remain peaceful.
The real power, though, is our ability to strike. Both from work itself and from buying things from mega corporations.
I'm hoping more people find all this out before I end up in the camps for domestic terrorism for speaking out.
