A rich jackass with no actual government position took the podium at the presidential inauguration, did the nazi salute, and wasn't promptly shot or arrested. That says a lot about the state of this country.
Yeah, he did a nazi salute, not admitted to being a communist. Being a nazi has never not been accepted and normal in America.
I'm like 99% sure that "Violence is never the answer" is just yet ever more rich fuck propaganda.
It’s also very Liberal propaganda.
Martin Luther King Jr. protested and he won so peaceful protest works!
While of course barely mentioning the Black Panthers and how MLK was suddenly a reasonable alternative to their violent resistance.
The only reason MLK didn't do more was because what they were already doing was illegal, and anything more could get them jail time. And this is still what they thought of him and his "peaceful" protests:
They did the same shit when they pretended that BLM burned down cities. We really don't learn even from our recent history, huh?
Same as it ever was.
And his "peace" was met with an extreme act of violence. Certainly was an answer for someone(s).
Exactly this. The "carrot and stick" strategy doesn't work without the stick. Every time a nonviolent movement achieves something, it's because they were seen as the preferable alternative to a more militant contemporary.
Tulsa.
I thought it was just something we taught children
Violence is the answer when less universal languages stop being an option
