You just brought me back to Uni in a VERY serious way.
Peanut butter and thick-sliced raw onion slices on whole wheat bread.
Soy sauce on vanilla ice cream.
Salami and apricot jam.
Hawaiian pizza with black and green olives.
Americans: “we can’t. We might GET IN TROUBLE.”
The people who would vote en masse to prevent this are literate enough to comprehend roughly 2% of that information.
I can think of plenty of things that aren’t violence in the streets.
Destruction of property can be achieved without putting human lives at risk given that the actors are halfway intelligent. Large scale cyberattacks can be carried out without physical violence. Organized efforts to catfish and publicly expose pedophiles (because let’s be real, the vast majority of them are alt-right trash) and hey, while you’re at it, even if they aren’t into kids, get receipts on unfaithful MAGA spouses and expose them to their families and religious groups. Industrial or corporate sabotage is an option. Business owners could choose to deny service to known alt-right sympathizers, MAGA supporters could see their employment terminated (political affiliation is not a protected class in most places, as far as I know).
When your entire law enforcement apparatus prioritizes property above people, all of those things become absolutely legitimate forms of protest. If these tactics are currently unacceptable to you, please tell us where the “line” is, beyond which they become morally justified. If your position is they these things are NEVER acceptable, then I don’t really have anything to say to you apart from “good luck.”
We’ve been told our entire lives that all the educated, intelligent people are on the left and the right is full of knuckle-draggers- well, great. Prove it. Stop being outsmarted by idiots.
Because you’ve spent 40 years allowing your news media to be complicit.
The bummer is that once the user numbers get to that sweet spot they’ll blow past it so fuckin’ fast and then shit gets dumb QUICK.
