But I am mostly indifferent to property damage. I can't think of a historical shift in the winds that doesn't involve property damage.

I remember when Ghandi and MLK got their freedom after breaking a few windows of a Starbucks.

"Antifacist Action" in the US today just consists of bored trust fund kids who have no direction in life, so they want to LARP like they're part of some new age fight for liberty when in reality, they just demolish low income neighborhoods and go back home to their really rich parents and sleep like babies in their warm beds.

Gandhi: The world is not entirely governed by logic. Life itself involves some kind of violence and we have to choose the path of least violence.

MLK: I am aware that there are many who wince at a distinction between property and persons—who hold both sacrosanct. My views are not so rigid. A life is sacred. Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on; it is not man.

You should actually try reading some history rather than letting pundits put thoughts in your head. Those men had non-violent beliefs, but they were not unfamiliar with sections of their own movements that asked for firmer stances.

But thank you for comparing their righteous struggles to the righteous struggle Antifa is carrying out. I maintain hope that the summer of 2020 was just an appetizer

Cool opinions.

I wasn't aware they both accomplished their goals by smashing windows though.

They really should take advice from rich, white liberals from Brooklyn hipster communities.

I was being a touch dramatic

Still, people will defend their property with their lives so you’re still advocating for violence

Also you’re crazy if you think I’d support us attacking Iran. That would guarantee the Islamic republic survives. They’d do what the Taliban did

Hopefully this protest movement is the real deal

I am opposed to all war, I don't want us to attack anyone anywhere. I also hope they overthrow their own totalitarian government, just like I hope we do ours: without violence.

But yeah, I also don't claim to be a pacifist. The rich folks here are certainly going to use violence to defend property, mostly via their agents, the police.

A lot of that is insured though. Guess who ends up paying?

People who pay for similar insurance when the companies raise their rates, that doesn't make it not worth doing

So higher taxes = violence

I guess we know why Mr A little Armageddon hired all them IRS agents now, eh?

Speaking of insurance, how are they going to pay for all this florida reconstruction?

Or are they not, and the goverment is going to give them money, because insurance is a gigantic scam?
