Start peaceful but if peace is not an option prepare to shoot kick and trench your way out of it.
While they think you are being passive and weak prepare so that your forces are not overwhelmed and under prepared when you actually have to fight
“It’s their human right to oppress and exploit people!” - some liberal
The compassion thing isn’t even why nonviolence can be effective as a strategy.
It’s to find contradictions and accelerate crises. The state is denying African Americans access to public institutions? Put yourself in the middle of those spaces and deny access to white people.
These cascading contradictions, coupled with the demonstrable threat more violent methods, are what have made nonviolent movements successful.
I stg, American public education has a lot of issues, but the way we teach the Civil Rights era is a fucking disaster
Mutual dialogue! Two-state solution! Every opinion matters and is equal! Social Darwinism is a valid philosophy! We all need to work together as a nation! Freedom, democracy, civil society and human rights! We’re helping all these poor people around the world! Unemployed people are just lazy and don’t want to work and contribute to society! Capitalism offers wages as a rewards system, how motivating! We’re spoiled rotten! Poverty is a personal responsibility that the individual must take action to combat!
My favorite meme template executed to perfection. Bravo brave creator, bravo!
If only there were some way to force social conditions into a state where resistance is no longer an option 🤔
