Why isnt anyone swarming the private, for-profit detention centers? People like talking about guillotines but not the Bastille
Go ahead
The "you first!" defense just says you know that revolutions are gross and icky and you want someone else to do it instead of joining as A GROUP and doing what has to be done. Lone wolves are doomed to failure so the Status Quo appreciates your solidarity with them.
I just meant that if you think that protesting there is important then you should organize something. I'm fine with what we're already doing.
Because if they go after any corporate entity directly, there will be guns, and death, and the survivors will be arrested for trespassing and vandalism and a slew of other crimes.
They want to be loud and safe, not effective for a cost.
that's not how democratic changes are done.
progress happens because people demand that society walks in a sane direction. taking things into your own hands basically never does anything good.
We dont have democracy in the US. The electoral system is specifically set up to not allow it in any way. The masses can vote only so long is they have predetermined choices and outcomes.
Peacefully protesting Democrats serve capitalism and capitalism only.
