Comment on ICE Agents pepper spray, beat up, and kill a person, after forcefully capturing him.

These people are extremely excited about the prospect of civil war. They are not afraid of people fighting back, they are drooling their idiot faces off daydreaming about it.
So yeah, maybe try to think up a more efficient form of resistance, though I sympathize with the sentiment.

Even if thats what the top wants, it’s not reflected on the untrained cowards on the streets. They were caught on video fleeing from their own gunfire.
They will escalate, whether we act or not. That’s how we got here.
Act accordingly.
Also, asymmetric warfare works wonders. Ask any country that has had to fight the US in the last four decades and sustained those wars for decades.

Oh yes, because the countries the US invaded for natural resources have all been thrilled to have been murdered by american soldiers.
War is shit. Find a better solution.

When did I say any of that?
Do you think those countries chose to be invaded? Did they escalate.
Help me find a better solution, I’m all ears.

I’m just saying that the fact that America tends to lose its wars is very meager comfort for those on the receiving end of them. You can’t really win a war as a civilian.
Protests and strikes are working. Organize locally in a positive and constructive manner (maybe get active in a union? Do you still have those over there?), build community and dedicate time and effort to that. Be the opposite of the fascists, don’t just echo their ideas of violence.
It might not feel so badass, but you’ll do more good as a living organizer than as a dead agitator.
