Ah yes, Marxist revolutionary larpers preaching for violence on Lemmy. Come back when you don't freak out over funko pop collections.

I am a proud liberal, I am supportive and willing of violence against ICE if the prospects of winning are good.

However, there are those among us who want violence against state and federal congress and town halls. Who want to dismantle every police station. Thats not gonna happen.

No to violence. I would prefer the union break apart peacefully, like the Czechs and Slovaks. The Blue States should be annexed by Canada and the Red Run Turd Holes can figure out their shit on their own.

A violent revolution doesn’t lead to a peaceful society, all it does is put the most violent group in charge

you can have peaceful protests, you can have violent protests, or you could have... voted for kamala last year

Peaceful protests are more likely to succeed and no peaceful protest that drew in 3.5 percent or more of the population has ever failed.

Once you use violence, they will use that to justify using violence and putting down the movement.

You want to win people’s hearts and minds. You do that by being peaceful. Your opponent will make a mistake, but you stay peaceful. Remember MLK Jr.’s successes.

Edit: downvotes, sorry that history and facts don’t support your view of things. But, don’t do violence and damage the movement for the rest of us.

Also tomorrow's protest ain't the one to pop off on. Gotta think tactically
