      So we should arm ourselves and not let ourselves be taken? Is that what you’re saying?

          I have this inscribed on my soul because it is so true. If someone has a gun to your head and says “Get in the van” you risk the bullet and book it.

            Yeah, the murder (and partial consumption) of the brothers De Witt was more or less the January 6th of the Dutch golden age. It’s part of the reason why The Netherlands is a monarchy now rather than a republic. (Admiral is a pretty good movie about what was going on politically.)

            But eat the rich, and all that!

          Is one of them just bitching online while waiting for the systems that haven’t being reigning in rampant abuses of power to magically start?

      Is that supposed to be an argument against protesting?

            Then I agree. There’s no safe place to hide from fascists. You have to disrupt and fight them.

          Same, dunno if it was typed to mean the opposite though. Getting plenty of excuses like this from ex-reddit libs that get salty when you tell them to go protest.

            it is my takeaway that our only hope of survival is the biggest and strongest coalition we can put together, and that protests are our most effective recruitment propaganda. eventually we will have the mass to do what must be done

        if by against protesting you mean in favor of more direct action

        Why else would they be trying to scare people from taking action?

            Being disabled from 14 years of taking beatings from Nazis and cops at protests is my excuse. I’d wheel my disabled Graves diseased ass out to a protest again against doctors orders if only they would be organized outside billionaires homes.

        He had his green card. He protested against Israel. He’s now in jail, somewhere unknown.

        The judge said he couldn’t be deported because he’s a resident, but he’s still in jail.
