            nonviolence assumes that your opponent has a conscience. but also, there is no precedent of non-violent protestors getting anything without taking casualties. You think Indian resistance didn't fight back? You think MLK protests were just putting flowers in cop's guns? What's wrong with you?

            Hong Kong protests are literally led by and fully infiltrated by fascists, you realize that right? The idiot protestors in Hong Kong just want Western imperialist boots to lick instead of PRC ones

            Why are you here exactly?

                saying something isn't "strategically correct" isn't the same thing as offering a "strategically correct" alternative or analyzing why you think it's "incorrect", you can disagree all you want.

                You're only clutching pearls and nattering about optics & aesthetics. If you don't think this thing is getting worse, then I don't think you're paying attention. Whine about what sensible people will think all you want to. Those "sensible" people with all "strategic" concerns perfectly formulated certainly aren't giving enough of a shit to stand in solidarity in the street with these protestors, so what does your tone-policing & finger wagging really accomplish?

                Shooting at the police isn't a "strategic" move. In this case, it's literally self-defense.

                But sure, only the protestors should be brow-beaten about non-violence and best practices. The disparate and underserved and disenfranchised should bootstrap themselves into a perfectly harmonious social fabric that listens to the perfectly reasoned & strategically correct concerns of oppressed & victimized underclasses lmfao.

                You're acting like a muppet

                    you still haven't offered the perfectly and most strategically correct alternative

                    still waiting for your big brain takes that lead oppressed communities to the promised land
