Authoritarians love some violence in the street. It allows them to swoop in with crackdowns they claim will protect the population from criminals. In fact, ordinary scared people may even call for crackdowns to “restore peace.” 

To make these moves backfire, we can actively project calm and communicate a commitment to order, kindness and nonviolence. We can use positive messaging and calmly explain the likelihood of future repression in a way that reduces fear. We can behave in ways that inspire, like mass dancing in the street…

I’m sorry but, what the fuck?

Did he voted for the 2001 AUMF in Afghanistan?

Did he voted for the 1988 Iraq Liberation Act?

Did he endorsed 2024 U.S./UK strikes on Yemen?

Did he support bombing Yugoslavia in the nineties?

Did he backed Libya regime change?

Did he backed drone strikes in Somalia?

These questions are legitimate, funnily, he always does the american thing right before backtracking. He’s the perfect "anti war" controlled politicians.

Almost like democrats wanted trump to win.

I recognize a pattern.

You’re absolutely not, but addressing this one particular point while overlooking the damning others is an interesting choice.

Of course it’s not funny, as it perfectly displays the hypocrisy of many on the left.

Why even engage if that was the case? You could have reasonably countered his point, not for him, but for the other readers on this thread.

Funny how you dismissed 85% of his comment.

Unfortunately, there are lots of ostriches in this thread who are going to think I'm promoting accelerationism, trump dictatorship, or putin.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You do realize the geriatric, senile cunt acting as your president is not and was never the brain behind US geopolitical strategies?

I just saw dozens of corpses today, some were children, dismembered by american bombs. Your sarcasm is weird.

People are angry, and rightfully so, engaging in some false sense of patriotism is wrong.

I read people on this thread telling commenters going against the tide to kill themselves. I read others saying they were russian plants.

Come on, wake up.

Do you have any examples?

As always, with your kind… tokenism.

Someone who wasn’t born with infinite knowledge of the universe is dismissed simply for disagreeing with this hollow virtue signaling that serves more as an advertisement for israel than anything substantive.

If he were truly anti-fascist, he’d be fighting fascists rather than throwing his frail fists at the wind.

Wake up and realize that your political system is flawed and has been bought out for a long time. The sooner you see this, the more time you’ll have to prepare for what comes next, because as you can see, it’s coming really fast.

Also, dismissing the opinions of non-americans even though your president and your government are actively threatening violence, undermining governments, and propping up fascists around the world only proves how disconnected and egocentric you are.

As wake-up calls go, the alarms don’t get much louder.
