      Because decades of nonviolence used as propaganda made them easy to manipulate and abuse. That’s why.

      I know it’s easy to see things that way but the reality is they’re people and if we went to move into a better future then we’re going to have to work out how to convince people to move forward with us.

      It saddens me how many purportedly on the left seem to want nothing but conflict and violence. It feels like they’re working to try and make things worse simply so they can feel some foolish sense of pride at being right or play out some childish freedom fighter fantasy.

        Yep it’s definitely a fantasy and not a reaction to the rapidly growing percentage of Americans openly calling for violence against us. Preparing to defend oneself is not the same.

        They’re gonna be rounding up people and throwing bodies in ditches and you enlightened centrists will still be running defense for these fascists.
