Why does everyone go straight to guns and riots? Make a fucken People’s PAC. Play the corpos and elites at their own game. Then if that doesnt work we can get the pitchforks.
They don’t go straight there, you’re missing decades of innafective protest and peaceful organization. Peaceful protest in the US is only allowed because it’s ineffective.

"Those who make peaceful protest impossible will make violent revolution inevitable " - JFK
Corpos can only be defeated with violence or having enough money to bankrupt them. There’s no “fixing the system from the inside” when the only way into that system is to be born rich.
The civil rights movement never died, idiots just keep letting it be suppressed and then deepthroat corporate media when the oppressed people react logically to being ignored
Agreed except that’s definitely not the only way into the system.
It’s just the only way to have implicit trust from most while on the inside. That’s because (deep breath) who in their right mind would forfeit their birthright to save their lessers?
Of course I’d like to think I would but will never know. In history, however, we can see that there are always a few individuals who do precisely that.
Also one way to fix it from the inside goes kaboom.
eh I dunno. If a cop pulls you over for a broken taillight and his computer says you own a gun, isnt there a much higher chance that they will freak out and shoot you for flimsy reasons?
You aren’t wrong. But being walked all over because you took the high ground instead of responding in kind to someone else raising tensions isn’t the answer. Just ask how that worked out for the Ukrainians who gave up their nukes.
What went wrong with Occupy? I need to look into that again. Cause you’re just gonna either get put down under the Trump Admin with guns or revolutionary behavior. Not that we aren’t gonna be down to guerilla but it seems like an extremely rough and costly life. Best hope on that is the Purged Generals decide to take America back.

I agree with you but it also seems like we haven’t tried since Occupy Wallstreet.
Blm had a clear message.
And the media demonized them

Yep, I kinds fear it will be like this forever, because so far it has been. As far back as history can see.

The fuck are you even talking about?!
They’ll see your gun registration.
What gun registration? I have 40-some guns. The cops have no database to find that information.
you realize cops have computers in their cars right? And they look up your record when they pull you over? Do you even drive?
Do you think the cops have records of the guns you own?! Jesus Christ…
Guns tend to raise tensions wherever they are at. Cause they’re life delete buttons.

It takes two to deescalate.
