    But you are essentially arguing for doing nothing

    No, that’s not true. I am arguing that we must be smart about what we do. Nonviolence is not the same as doing nothing.

      Do you have a line? Like, how many people need to be executed by the feds? Is violence never justified in response to federal violence? Or do you have a line?

      How many? 10? 100? 1000? At what point do you suggest fighting back? And I am not even advocating for a vigilante violence. I’m literally talking about preparing an organized defense that is armed.

      You can’t wait until your chosen number of dead is reached. By then it’s too late.

      How is what I discussed not being “smart” about what we do? It’s literally about preparing an organized state defense to the fascist literally executing and kidnapping people RIGHT NOW.

        Do you have a line?

        What’s yours? If your line has been crossed, you go do something about it. Go ahead. I’m rooting for you.

          Good job avoiding the question. My line was crossed already. I am. I’m the person out there with the sign today (something I doubt you are even doing, but literally just telling us to keep doing that, to keep getting tear gassed, keep getting shot with pepper bombs).

          If you were even doing the thing you were advocating for. That is. “protesting peacefully” you wouldn’t have the ignorant perspective you have. Stop advocating for something you clearly aren’t even doing.

          By the time your line gets crossed you’ll be too scared to even go hold a sign.

            You’re right, I’m too scared. I’m clearly not cut out for this resistance stuff. But I’m sure you’ve got what it takes, so I’m pulling for you. Go get those fascists!
