  The problem is that violent revolutions rarely produce anything other than more and worse chaos, and are usually settled by the biggest despot in the room who is often worse than the guy being deposed. The vast majority of actual social progress made in history was due to peaceful, not violent revolution.

    I agree, but every non-violent movement needs an underlying threat of the willingness to escalate and ultimately become violent to succeed. We need people who are willing to use violence.

      Bullshit. Once all the dark tetrad are helping grow sunflowers, there is no one left to take over (that won’t end up the same).

      You just need a willingness to commit constant, never-ending violence that would make the Nazi camp guards faint.

      Keep giving the bad guys CPTSD, the one reason a despot took over after, was that people stopped fighting, believing they had won.

      They believed that things will be good because they “earned” it.

      No, safeguarding humanity requires eternal vigilance, and the tree of liberty to be constantly watered with the blood of psychopaths.

      Exactly. There needs to be a stick to accompany the carrot. But if the carrot is refused, then the stick does its job.

      I disagree . The moment violence happens, the whole movement loses its credibility and high ground and opens the road to despotic overthrow of the movement. This is why it’s so important to guard against the tactic of your enemy installing agitators to discredit your movement and open the door to violent suppression of it.
