Counterpoint: People need to eat and pay rent, and those things don’t go away just because you’re protesting the latest bullshit the government is up to.
he may have advocated non-violence but he did not condemn violence. he understood it as an inevitable and necessary response under continued oppression. please don’t whitewash him.
we are not going to protest our way out of fascism. i hope we all know there is much more to be done.
They’re snubbing their noses at you because you’re gatekeeping what it means to be committed to a cause. People need to keep their jobs out of responsibility and necessity and you are telling them it’s not good enough. You’re posing a false dichotomy about what it means to be committed. When the protest is over, they still need to pay bills.
Their snubbing their nose because they cant imagine a world where they have to do something beyond the bare minimum.
You can call me a gate keeper but the gate is wide open.
Yes, yes, I have to pay bills they have to pay bills we should all do are best not to disrupt the system and be compliant with our owners.
Except the literal social contract, the bill of rights, is under threat but god forbid we band together and keep the goverment out of ours houses and take back from the bank that which always belonged to us.
Generalizations will get you no where. You don’t know what’s going on with other people and there are plenty of activists who do more than you give them credit for. Tell me exactly how going to a protest during a work day actually promotes your cause over taking a day off, because my coworkers and my job are not my enemy here. Maybe yours is, but that’s not universal.

Last I checked, under authority rule food and housing becomes pretty scarce.
I would tell you what courage means if I thought it might help you.
Like it or not, with this government shutdown, the democrats are showing more courage than all of us.
Someone offers a counterpoint and your first impulse is to insult?
If you took it as an insult im sorry… I just didn’t want to get all preachy.
I look up to people like mlk but I could never match up.
Just remember what MLK did and preached: non-violent protest.

You could have voted your way out of fascism. Perhaps nonviolent protesting is worth a try?
is this a joke
Im not saying be violent. Im saying be committed. Sacrifice something.
Lol at someone telling you to believe in your cause and you snub your nose at them.
