A lot of glowy handshake accounts are posting comments like non-violent civil disobedience doesn't work. Likely FBI agents.
Remember when tens of thousands of businesses in every state defiantly reopened? Remember when we choked off DC highways with hundreds of trucks parked in the road? Remember when millions of us walked around in the supermarket without masks? Remember when we held sit-ins at Twitter and Facebook HQ for weeks?
No, of course not. We never actually did that. I live in a so-called red area and all of the businesses are still closed and everyone wears masks. The trucker strike never happened. Most of us are still compliant.
Civil disobedience worked for the civil Rights movement. Czechoslovakia's Velvet revolution was non-violent and it overthrew a communist regime far more totalitarian than what we have. They didn't even have fucking guns.
No, we skipped all of that. A handful of idiots decided to go full retard and fight with cops and try and storm Congress when both houses were in session. Some were likely plants, but most of them including the woman who was shot were Trump supporters who did not need to be there in the building. they could have stayed on the steps and made their point just as well.
I'm sick and tired of hearing about the four boxes. Yes, the voting box has been taken away from us, but that doesn't mean going straight to the ammo box. There are so many options for civil disobedience that we haven't even tried yet. FBI glowy shill handshake accounts get the f*** off this site.
Yes, Hong Kong had a lot of the same civil disobedience that I'm talking about. It didn't work in their case, at least not yet, but the fight is certainly not over for them. I can't 100% guarantee that non-violent civil disobedience will solve all of our problems, but it's an option that we haven't even tried. It's an option that is oftentimes effective, that we've ignored. Beating up cops and breaking into the Capitol building is not non-violent civil disobedience. Even Trump condemned it and begged people to stop while it was happening. They would have made their point just fine by standing on the stairs or on the lawn. And then they could have occupied it for longer, all the way up until the 20th. We need to try some of the things that I mentioned in my op.
