Right, because its only worthwhile to actively oppose them when outnumbering them 10-to-one or more, and the government fascists of today are as un-familiar with and incapable of managing and ignoring large crows as those of yester-year.

What a load of hot garbage. A few tens-of-thousands people with guns and purpose could wreck these gestapo clowns and make supporting them too scary to engage in, but no, the masses in record numbers must get out there and be subject to teargas, bullets, and jail-time.

Personally, if I'm going to potentially get shot at and/or go to jail anyways, I'll make damn sure I deserve it.

I'm going to go with you being sincere. Let's talk about this, our military is the strongest in the world. If the No Kings protest had gone to violence, they would have been mowed down. So many people would have died. Trump was itching to take over the city from the "liberals," he even sent the national guard hoping the protestors would turn violent.

What I'm saying is, don't promote violence and in this community (warning alert). Also, don't disparage the people who are also on your side, even if they're not using the tactics you would like. It's hard to differentiate between russian trolls who want americans to infight and people who sincerely think that the only way to fight this administration is violence.

I am not encouraging crowd-violence, but I will stan Luigi & the like until the day I die. On the flip-side, I am as disgusted with my own inaction as anyone else's, but I will clarify that I am most concerned that we don't have the time to wait for over 10 million people to get so fed up they take to the streets en masse.

On that note, it seems to me, that anything like the "Occupy Wallstreet" movement today would see the new anti-homelessness non-sense used to detain or even deport participants. The conservatives want the principled among us to make themselves vulnerable like so.
