The larger point here is that you don't get to choose. We're not gonna "choose" whether or not the revolution is violent. They are. Every resistance movement in history starts with a demand, and a refusal to comply with unjust oppression and exploitation.
We don't start shooting; they do. And you need to understand that because the ruling power has taught you a back-asswards version of history where ppl who don't want to starve are "violent terrorists"
It's nonsense. Power always shoots first

These folks COULD stop killing us, stop brutalizing us, stop exploiting us, stop literally burning the world we live in, stop enslaving people, stop bombing people, they COULD just stop.
But they won't. And when you start taking steps to make them (which honestly not nearly enough people are doing right now) - they are going to get even more violent than they already are now; and they're pretty violent, all that oppression is maintained by force.
AnarchoNinaWrites
So advocating for revolution to end the capitalism that's installing fascism and killing us is NOT VIOLENT; the VIOLENCE comes from the machine and its refusal to STOP killing people for money ffs.
AnarchoNinaWrites
Some of you are literally buying into the mentality of the abusers and slavers.
If I say "stop killing me" and they say "no" and I say "I'm going to stop you" and they say "then we'll have to hurt people" - WHO IS DOING THE VIOLENCE?
A lot of you are literally saying "well you shouldn't provoke them by refusing to die for rich people" and it's BONKERS.

Did students protesting Israel's genocide in Palestine attack police stations?
No, they did not.
Did police attack student encampments exercising their constitutionally protected rights to protest a US-back genocide of Palestinians by Israel?
Yes. Yes they did.
The world does not work the way the people lining you up for a shallow grave taught you it does. You cannot bargain with this machine; if you try to stop the (very profitable) oppression, they will use force. That's the score.

So spare me the pearl clutching about "violence" because you clearly have no fucking idea how the capitalist world actually functions.
AnarchoNinaWrites
The world is on fire. Your leaders are fully aware that it's capitalism (that literally cannot function without fossil fuels) doing it, and billions of people are going to die. They are not taking any steps to address that problem; what they are doing is installing fascism, building out police states, and curtailing your civil rights to prevent you from stopping what amounts to genocides, plural.
That's the score. They fucking lied to you about how the machine works. Stop pretending; or we die.
AnarchoNinaWrites
@Phlegmaroid I mean why would you assume that's going to happen at all when everything the billionaire class and the politicians they own makes it 100% clear they intend to just kill billions of people and keep doing capitalism for as long as possible?
There is no "tsunami of corporate and billionaire money" coming. They've made their choice; fascism and genocide. Clearly.
Time for us, the people doing the dying, to make ours.

@AnarchoNinaWrites until they get the tsunami of corporate and billionaire money out of the political process, climate change will be yet another planet-sized can kicked down a dead end road
AnarchoNinaWrites
@Crazypedia because you're not going to win a fight of force on force by yourself; you are going to need a critical mass of support and revolutionary intent, or they will simply kill you/crush you as individuals. Once there are millions, maybe billions of people prepared to fight back, the machine will no longer have the option of simply killing a few Luigi's.

@AnarchoNinaWrites if we know the script, why shouldn't we shoot first? #freeluigi
