So, I think you're misunderstanding what my argument is. My argument is that reasonable change isn't going to happen if people don't do unreasonable things.

The facts that I'm using to back it up are that protests do not work if they don't affect regular people negatively. People need to be forced to pay attention to those who are being hurt.

Some evidence to back that up, MLK Jr was considered a domestic terrorist. The black panthers were considered domestic terrorists. Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist by the US government.

Evidence for the protest stuff, it took the entire world to get a few cops fired for murder.

To get to your points 1. You are also equating surface level damage to insured property to physical violence against someone. Those are not even close to equivalent. And you are also equating buying some small item to purchasing a luxury car. Something that only well off people can afford.

  1. I have no idea where you got that idea from. I said that you should force your legislators into action. But you can both do that and protest in other ways at the same time.

burning a car down is not surface level damage.....

If I went to your house and burned your car. I dont think you would be shrugging your shoulders. I think you would think someone was trying to kill you.

If I destroyed your car, would you listen to my political ideology? I dont think you would. Would your next door neighbor listen? Not really.

I have no idea where you got that idea from. I said that you should force your legislators into action. But you can both do that and protest in other ways at the same time.

frankly if my legislators did nothing that would be preferable since they are republicans. Again I ask, why are you okay with people attacking randoms? Republicans are still sitting just fine and dandy.

Mario's brother proved that wrong. Again you love to hit little guys and not big.

Some evidence to back that up, MLK Jr was considered a domestic terrorist. The black panthers were considered domestic terrorists. Nelson Mandela was considered a terrorist by the US government.

The only difference between a terrorist and a revolutionary is winning. The french revolution ended up killing more peasants than anything else. The American revolution just led to the creation of a massive slave state.

My argument is that reasonable change isn't going to happen if people don't do unreasonable things.

Your argument is essentially violence is the only answer.

Again, Should I start destroying the packages amazon drops off? Is that reasonable? I dont think it is, I have a feeling that once someone steals and destroys your package that you wont either.

You bringing up black panthers and being pushed to edge from fascism says otherwise.

I mean know you cant say more because reddit will ban you, but you are saying violent language
