    Hm, I do recall a sitting US president saying that making peaceful protest impossible makes violent revolution inevitable :sicko-yes:

    In Ancient China, there was one dynasty that executed people for being late, no matter how good their reason was. Once, a famous general was late due to inclement weather beyond his control. So since the punishment for tardiness and the punishment for rebellion were the same, he decided "fuck it, rebellion time!" While that rebellion ultimately failed, it led to civil unrest eventually resulting in the fall of that dynasty.

    And then, riots are much better for your own well-being. Cops will have a MUCH harder time nabbing any individual person in a riot, as opposed to a peaceful protest.

      I remember the Houston George Floyd Protest, where the cops kettles everyone into Discovery Green and arrested them for trespassing in a closed park.

      People were terrified, simply because the police were so numerous and so well armed.

      It's far easier to joke about this shit online than pull it off IRL. The whole appeal of peaceful protest is that you DON'T put your life and freedom on the line. If there's no such thing as peaceful protest, lots of people simply won't show up.

      This is the desired outcome.

        Libs still trust cops too much so they walk people into traps all the time literally thinking "wow all these cops are here to protect us!"

        kick libs out of your protests or bully them into not being a fucking snitch loser, we need militancy to fight back against militant cops.

    This is not accurate, we saw peaceful protestors getting harassed, tear gassed and shot at over BLM all summer,and most protestors still did not retaliate. I remember that portland protest where every day they'd line up to the sacred fence, barely touch it, and then After a few hours get tear gassed. Repeat for 2 months

      Uh the penalty for burning a cop car is not currently "getting tear gassed"
