Yet nothing will come of it, maybe a protest or two but it will be meaningless.
The reason why nothing will happen is because for generations we have been taught that only through nonviolent peaceful protests can change be achieved. Which is the biggest scam this country has ever produced, yes bigger than everything else the conservatives have ever done. The death of civil disobedience, the death of making the wealthy and the powerful uncomfortable with our protests is what killed any attempt to course correct.
Want to achieve real meaningful progress? Then trash the rich and powerful’s toys, prevent them from ever stepping foot outside without the risk of themselves being covered in piss, shit, blood and garbage. Make them miserable and suddenly things improve. The second you give even a hint of credibility to peaceful nonviolent protests then you fall for the trap.
This country is run by pedophiles and all of them should never be allowed to step foot outside without being treated like they treat the rest of us. Treat them worse than that even, they harmed us for hundreds of years so make they suffer righteous retribution.
I always tell this to people calling me to go to protests now: "Call me when you guys actually intend to burn shit down and drag some necks into the guillotine. If you're just gonna pretend to be angry, I'm not interested." No change will ever come from playing their game, Dr King showed everybody that even if you're playing with their rules, you'll still end up with a bullet if you become too big of a threat. The real game is all about violence, one side is more than willing to use it, why aren't we?
King's protests held weight because the movement could potentially turn violent if he wasn't listened to. It's what happened with Gandhi.
Well, the simple answer is that the other side has military hardware. Most people don't want to be martyrs, so it won't happen until someone steps up and crowd mentality kicks in.
