Some keeping it real
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Tue, 04/30/2024 - 8:05pmAny time you mention revolution, you always get the same reaction from standard liberals: oh but we're against violence. Really?
If you pay taxes, you're contributing to violence.
If you voted for Trump or Biden, you were contributing to violence. You'll probably be doing it again in November. It's not like you apologized.
Actually, the violence you're contributing to is genocidal violence. So why should anyone listen to you when you say you don't like violence?

On October 18 thousands of ethnic Jews and their allies marched on Washington D.C., calling for a cease fire.

Like many here, I'm a baby boomer. No apologies or complaints. If I had my choice, I wouldn't change a thing.
Except the political landscape, and we did that back in the 60s through mass protests, sit-ins, occupations, and even love-ins.
Yeah those were fun.

An example of students standing their ground
Everyone has seen the bonk video, but it's worth watching the full thing to see how Cal Poly kids pushed out riot cops. Look at the brave people in the front, faces literally pressed against shields! Look at how everyone's holding onto each other so no one can get grabbed away!
