    Again. ACAB. The entire system is racist and broken.

      That’s an opinion a person can hold, sure.

      But I’m talking about helping the Palestinian people, and whether fighting cops helps that, hurts it, or is neutral.

      It’s about convincing voters, not punching what you think are bad guys in the face. The world is not a comic book, it’s a messy place that adults have to have jobs in or they die.

        The police are there to protect the bourgeoisie. Don’t even get me started on the prison industrial complex.

          I’m not trying to convince you that police are wonderful or that we don’t need economic and criminal justice reform.

          I’m talking about practical, immediate matters though. Palestinians are dying right fucking now, and you really think punching a cop helps that? Or are you so self-centered that you can’t separate your issues in your head and understand what living under representative government actually means for us in a world with suburban soccer moms?

            We’ve been protesting for months. They’re not listening.

              That’s because we don’t have a clear majority yet, even of the democratic party, much less the whole electorate. We need to change that, not think that beating people up will somehow magically address our problems.

              Think past quotes and slogans to demographics and average American citizens and how they live, what they want, and what is important to them. They are who we need to convince more of before leadership can take the concerns more seriously.
