So when are you gonna go do something about it? Are you a gun guy or a poison guy?
You're like those people who say you can't criticize movies unless you're a director
Not really
Not even if you stretch what I said pretty far in different directions
I asked what they're gonna do about it. If the answer is post on the least popular social media platform in existence and that's it, I will think less of them. But that has nothing to do with being a director.
How about you get off our least popular social media platform in existence, leave us alone, and go and do something about the traitors yourself if you think it's hypocrisy not to?
Why would it be hypocrisy for me not to be doing anything?
This appears to be a claim that voicing opposition without taking action is hypocrisy.
Nope. It doesn't appear that way at all.
So I should post on Reddit where there are so many comments mine gets hidden in the pile and no one sees it?
I have over 80 upvotes on my comment. That means at least that many people saw it. People see comments they agree with, then they talk about those subjects elsewhere online and IRL. The sentiment spreads. If it spreads enough then words slowly turn into actions.
You coming on "the least popular social media in existence" and trying to speak down to people communicating to each other is unproductive and, frankly, stupid.
And believe me, you are in no position to think less of anyone.
Wow that least popular thing got people really pissy didn't it. But is that claim wrong? if so, if you know the numbers, I'm happy to go and make the edits here.
As for the rest of your message: Yes, yes, Im sure your butterfly wings are setting up the tidal wave of #Resistance or whatever you think will happen. Yay, go you, or whatever.
In case you aren't just trolling...
The conservatives WANT violence from their opposition. They will use it to further destabilize the country allowing them to gain more actual power.
Sometimes violence is the answer. And there are plenty available if it gets too that. But despite where we are, playing their game the way they want us to isn't the solution. Violence isn't the answer... yet.
And hopefully we never get to that point.
The original poster was advocating violence:
I was simply asking what type of violence they personally were going to use, since they were advocating for it
