The population has been made isolated at the community level. There are very few local groups doing any reaction at all to this.

And violent reactions which are successful are a group action; it’s very seldom an individual, in any era of history, changed the politics by themselves.

And as long as there are no impromptu gatherings of significant frequency, there will be very little violence.

The internet is not a replacement for community driven change which powers all social and political movements, peaceful or not.

The turning point, if there is one, will be lots of local meetings by the thousands , and not until then. No matter how violent or passive the individuals be

This is so funny because it is 100% the opposite. Violence is everywhere in america and people are completely desensitized to it and is completely fine if it is directed at the poor. Violence on the streets, violence against homeless, shooting your neighbors for pulling up in your driveway to turn, shooting people for not driving how you want, shooting up schools, mass shootings, all completely fine and absolutely no steps are taken against it.

They are brainwashed into nonviolence against the rich and corporate power and encouraged to use tons of violence against the poor and people that look slightly different than them.

• Luigi in an inhumane terrorist traitor who should be killed

• the guy who killed homeless people in the same week: "some say that he is a hero" and praising him for the full news cycle
