Maybe it’s because we’re not animals. Had half of this country been educated enough to see what was coming- we wouldn’t be in this mess. Violence will only make it worse.
In a game theory situation, One actor that obeys laws vs. another that doesn’t tends to eliminate the one that does obeys laws.
so even hypothetically, we can’t take the high road as it leads to a cliff.
and don’t be so naive to think the world peace and order we enjoy wasn’t paid for with blood of our ancestors. The rules you hold dearly now didn’t protect your ancestors when they sought to do what’s right.
Yeah… being nonviolent absolutely is a virtue. A pretty simple one at that. So I’m hoping the signal is loud and clear. And human history? Really? We used to use the practice of trepanning to release evil spirits from one’s head. Doctors once prescribed cigarettes to patients. History is a bad example to use to justify the present.
And lastly, you have the nerve to tell me to be better while you try and justify acts of violence?

strange though that rich educated billionaires are fine using violence through the state to oppress citizens
Did I say that was fine?

Violence is the hallmark of peace.
Have fun storming the castle when people can’t even organize protests of any significance.
That is a completely different problem.
Naaah. It really isn’t.
Who’s not an animal? Because humans are definitely classified as animals. We’re definitely not plants.
Animals as in- barbaric knuckle-dragging cavemen than can’t handle negativity and adversity without harming others.
You’re virtue signaling and need to do some deep searching and a review of human history. Be better.

Be better indeed- and evolve while you’re at it.
Yeah, I forgot how this country became liberated in the first place.
Yeah… it’s not 1775 anymore. Did you not know this?
BULLSHIT
Such an astute point! Care to elaborate?
