I like how violence is never the answer, but violence is what the establishment uses to keep power.

[-] [email protected] 57 points 5 days ago

Violence is wrong unless you're Bernie Sanders justifying using it against brown children.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

Yeah, funny how that works

[-] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

Feed yourselves into the meat grinder peacefully. All “march of return” peaceful protesters, please step into this chamber peacefully. If you fight back you are just like them

[-] [email protected] 47 points 5 days ago

Violent protests are counterproductive.

Bernie, you turd, it's the heavily armed pigs in masks who are rioting.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 5 days ago

He would know that if he had even a single staffer or contact in the movement, but he’s out of touch and completely disconnected

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Isn't there footage and/or photographs of him getting arrested at protests in his younger years? Did he just live to see himself become a villain or maybe was he a stopped clock? It seemed like he used to better, even if he was just a lib. I guess years in a comfy politician's chair can change a man.

Remember when Strom Thurmond disintegrated after the I have a dream speech

John Brown wears a hangman’s noose for a necktie up in Heaven. I asked him about it, and he said, ‘Where’s yours? Where’s yours?’ His eyes were like glowing coins. ‘Without shedding of blood,’ he said, ‘there is no remission of sin.’

We need to shut them down until we can figure out just what the hell is going on

hey Bernie how did the non-violent Great March of Return go in Palestine? what contest did the IOF snipers hold?

[-] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago

Los Angeles has a right to defend itself.

[-] [email protected] 34 points 5 days ago

LOL JFC. They aren’t going to back down even if you and your granny are doing something as benign as arts n crafts sit ins. They will still bash you in the head and shoot you for simply being there. They were doing that shit in 2020. This is embarrassing.

As much respect as I have for Dr. King; the violence of his death, and the violent reaction to his death, is what prompted the government to stop fucking around and pass legislation.

The assassination and subsequent riots quickly revived the bill.[38][39][27][40] On April 5, Johnson wrote a letter to the United States House of Representatives urging passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which included the Fair Housing Act.[31] The Rules Committee, "jolted by the repeated civil disturbances virtually outside its door," finally ended its hearings on April 8.[41] With newly urgent attention from White House legislative director Joseph Califano and Speaker of the House John McCormack, the bill—which was previously stalled that year—passed the House by a wide margin on April 10

I suppose that you could argue the non-violent approach was necessary to reach the critical mass of support necessary to achieve rioting on this scale, but ultimately the violence is what got the goods.

the carrot and the stick

[-] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago

American politicians will really swear loyalty to a flag that was raised because of an open, violent rebellion but say violence is never the answer.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago

When they come to violently take you and yours to die, it is your responsibility to be the bigger person.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 5 days ago

I’m taking the high road all the way to heaven!!

fuck that zio piece of shit

violent protest

How many ICE fuckers have the protestors iced? 0.

How many people has ICE killed in the course of its work? A lot.

Bernard doesn't know what violence is.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

Listen sweaty, a petit bourgeoisie store owner's window getting a brick hurled through is 10000 times more traumatizing than anything ICE could do to anyone. ICE is mostly legal, which makes it ok. I can't believe I have to explain this to people, but breaking things is illegal and therefore bad. If these protestors really wanted to make a good impression, they should've stayed home and protested quietly while watching netflix or something. maybe-later-kiddo

[-] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago

These same people always call for foreign leaders to get bombed or assassinated.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago

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"

[-] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

just a distraction from the actual purpose of the protests?

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.

defeated Racist government officials

Dr. MLK Jr taught us that it was only the bad apples in the government, not that the entire US state project is a racist institution designed to uphold white supremacy. Love me, love me, I’m a liberal.

I want my many 27s of dollars from 2016 and 2020 back.

If anyone wants some book recs for armed resistance during the Civil rights era in the US, I liked This Nonviolent Stuff'll Get You Killed and Negroes With Guns

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

Amazing that even copmala harris has a better statement than bernie, like at least it doesn't lecture protestors to be "non violent".

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

God damn Bernie Sanders. God damn America.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

You should've let the heart attack take you, maybe you would have gone out on a high note at least. Now I just fucking hate you, geriatric charlatan demon fuck. Warren ain't half the snake you are, tricknologist zionazi ass minion imp.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

If Bernie has to make a tweet to criticize the working class, you know you are doing something right.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Time to go join Sleepy Joe at the farm

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

I don't much care for violence either, but it certainly seems as though one side has no qualms about using it. If there were a peaceful solution, I'd advocate for it, but more and more it seems that political power grows from the barrel of a gun...
