Noooo! You can't! This is what they want!
As soon as people start throwing bricks at squad cars, the cops will use violence, a thing they certainly weren't doing before now!
Then it'll be your fault, the next time some power drunk, trigger happy, bloodthirsty, badged up serial killer assassinates another civilian waving a cardboard protest sign.

I mean, you're allowed a gun, too. Plus, like, there's 4 guns for every 1 person. Live your dream, dual-weild, and do a barrel roll.

Half-brick... they are simply superior in every way.
Don't ask me how I know that.

The boxes can be a little tricky to use so be sure to use a lot of force when throwing your ballot

Are you implying it's one per voter?

all this meme tells people is you having no idea how to bring change and rather make the system you want to abolish focus on destroying you, instead of coming up with an actual plan

Google stonewall.
Saleh@feddit.org · 12 pts · 1y
Stonewall was a party sponsored by big corporations to virtue signal and then all the liberals clapped and the world was good.
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 17 pts · 1y
stonewall is when a bunch of respectable cis white gays went to the government and politely asked "hey, can we have rights pretty please? đ„ș" and the nice democrats said "oh, what an idea! give you rights! why havenât we thought of this before???" and after that gay marriage was legalized and queer rights were fully achieved. the end đ

Google 'Million Man march'. Or. 'Civil rights' movement. Or. Etc. On and on and on. Violence almost always ISN'T the answer. Disregard what ACAB tells you. There ARE good policemen out there. They just get buried because they get tied to anarchy when they speak out, and it's our duty as good citizens to let them flourish, democracy dies in the dark
irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 19 pts · 1y
The civil rights movement absolutely used violence. Google "radical flank effect".

Sigh... in amounts of man-hours, that was 0.3% of the time, reform is what made things better. Much like the Boston tea party was .25 Of peaceful Protest

Reform is what got us where we are today. You can't reform the oppressors out of capitalism.

Please take this entire comment and negate it premise by premise, and you will arrive at the truth.

I went for the praxis of âbe the lack of bullshit you want to see in the worldâ and genuinely went to apply at my local PD, did the 12 hour ride along, the whole thing. I bailed immediately after seeing the reality of what modern US law enforcement actually is, on a ânormalâ day in my safe, well tax-based and developed county.
It was bullshit. Any pretense of âServe and Protectâ was immediately shattered when after a few hours of running speed traps on downhill slopes and on the periphery of speed limit changes, the cop needed to âshow activityâ and decide to head over to the trailer park which has known migrants, and laid in wait for an ANPR hit - âhunting over baitâ as he called it. And lo and behold (because this clearly wasnât the first time this worked) it didnât take long before he nabbed a Hispanic mom taking her kid somewhere. No license, because sheâs undocumented, but still has a job and was trying to provide. âThe law is the lawâ so she went to jail, the kid is crying hysterically, CPS gets called, and the entire time the cop is trying to play like heâs helping by intervening. That this is necessary. That she could be a dangerous driver, needs to take the driving test (which is a joke where I live), all while ignoring the reality that sheâs not part of the problem. The laws are. We are.
It is almost impossible to effect meaningful change from within a structure that inwardly rejects oversight and reform, whilst outwardly enforcing policies against a population without compassion or adjustment to the scenario.

America is so past the point that positive change will come without violent resistance. What youâre saying has absolutely zero historical context.

i didn't say anything about non-violence. you just assumed that, because you can't even imagine a successful strategy

I have a non violent plan ⊠wait.. sorry lost it. But, it was a real nice one. Promise

Just because you don't like our plans, doesn't mean we don't have them.

your movement is insignificant, because you assume everyone is your enemy
