Nah fuck promises, i want delivery.
Comment on Mass protests have failed to bring about social change. It’s time for a new strategy.

The new strategy should be armed protests that promise violence to the politicians and their families. Anything short of that is just facts.

If your only route to success is harming others or threatening to harm others, you are literally the same as them.

If you try to defend yourself from the people oppressing and killing you, you’re just as bad as them?
What a shit lib take.

Yeah I don’t agree with your opinion, so toss me in the bin and qualify me shortly. Lmao simpleton

Change my mind.
No one gave two fucks about Hamas until they came through with gun fire and violence. Now everyone suddenly cares and a significant change will come to them.

I'm not convinced you have one to change.

ZING got me real good. You’re right! I’ve not a single neuron with which to type even, sadly. I’m concerned you may not even get this message before logic catches up with us

Truly the only way meaningful change is ever achieved.

I would really like it if we could at least try some other non-violent strategies first, but that's just me.

No, which is why I would like to at least try some other ideas before violence. Because violence doesn't seem to be doing a lot of anyone any good, historically or presently.

We have, that's the problem

We have tried some non-violent methods. It may not be the non-violent part that is causing them to be ineffective. It is possible to modify the tactics before abandoning peace.
We have also tried the violent option for instigating social change thousands of years. I am not convinced that the good to come from those historical examples outweighs the bad, or is even close. I am convinced that people who feel wronged often want equal or greater revenge and it is often targetted really poorly.
