I guess you're referring to me.
The protests in LA were mostly peaceful, what do you think would have been the outcome if the protesters weren't? Trump is itching to declare marshall law and take over California, why do you think he's sending so many national guardsmen and marines? Be prepared for defense, but don't start shit.
No, I was speaking generally. I've seen several calls for non-violence, though the only people I've seen get hurt so far are those who've been hurt by the police. I wanted to share that there is space between not being violent and being prepared or demonstrating the capacity for violence.
Lol, TACO was already polling terribly before his sugarbaby broke up with him. All I know is if people in California want to be free from fascists & the oligarchy, they better plan on getting rid of their own politicians as well. It's the lameass Democratic establishment that helped Trump get reelected. Also, the reason the majority of Americans support Trump's stance overall on illegal immigration is cause Democrats are just as guilty as Republicans in letting corporations buy up all the current urban housing & turning everyone into renters, while you drive an hour outside any major city & there are open fields for 10s of miles between each house. That is where the wealth is getting transferred to & where a majority of the Trump donors & voters sre. You want to want to see shit get crazy, then have the protestors go up to the Central Valley to setup makeshift communities on those thousand+ acres farms, tell them they're going to have to start sharing cause things are getting too fucking crowded in LA, and that they're taking all the water as well.
I think we're agreeing in that it's a class war more than anything else. If the poor class wasn't increasing by leaps and bounds, no one would need a change.
I like the "No Kings" slogan and I think our forefathers would agree.
Exactly. Corporations have driven up the cost of housing & corralled a significant portion of the populace into overcrowded urban areas where they own the housing & keep raising rent higher than ever before, lobbying & buying politicians to keep wages low, demanding people commute 2 hours each day with rush hour traffic, having police ignore crime in & target marginalized communities & people while protecting the rich & rural areas, etc. The list goes on & on. Like I said, have those protestors spread out to rural communities. Watch what happens.
