    If you find yourself thinking “I agree, things are really bad, but outright conflict would be so much worse!”

    You might be right, in the short term perhaps.

    But if you think about the staggering body count that has already built up, from police killing people and walking away without punishment, from our money supplying tools to murder countless children overseas, our governments overall mindless support of business and money over people?

    I don’t want any sort of conflict, I don’t want any lives to be lost, but it seems like they’re intent on killing us regardless of how we feel about them.

    If Europe won’t do anything about Putin, they for sure won’t do anything about Trump. Spineless, all of them.

    Until those in power fear for their lives, nothing will change.

    Does peaceful protest make them fear for their lives?

    Does sitting around at home waiting until midterms make them fear for their lives?

    There you go.

    What a lot of people ignore is we’re already pretty deep in the “first they came for” poem…

    It didn’t start last year, it didn’t even start 2016 his first term. It’s been happening for a long time and a lot of the loudest people now didn’t give two shits till they were affected and now feel entitled to running the opposition show.

    If they didn’t have to learn this lesson personally, they wouldn’t be learning it now tho

    if we ALL fight back at once

    Oh great, a totally realistic proposal. Most of the people out there don’t care enough to fight back because their lives aren’t so destitute that getting sent to prison would be an improvement.
