Why is it always the liberals and progressives

[drmeow]

who have to renounce and distance ourselves from violence we have no hand in? I am so f**king sick of the fascists and their enablers controlling the narrative and using violence and the threat of violence against us.

1. It's easy... Conservatives view this as weakness...

And they use it against not only liberals but Democrats in general. The world is not a peaceful place to begin with

2. The media lets them get away with it

Appeasement is the word that keeps going through my head.

3. If it bleeds, it leads...

always been true, probably always will be. The medium and technology might change, but the media continues.

5. That's exactly it. THEY bought up the media

and WE will never catch a break from it, largely because THEY are the ones sending in agents provocateurs.

Personally, I saw violence, I left, went down a side street, through an alley, whatever. I just got away from the scene. Maybe that would be the best tactic. Isolate the trashers by leaving the area, leave no doubt about the punks responsible, just don't hold your breath waiting for the cops to book them. Lawyers paid for by Important People will show up and the whole thing will disappear, the news blaming left wing protsters who got out of hand. If you leave, you will be safe. If you stay, you might not be, the cops love excuses to break heads, especially hated "libbie" heads. Again, no violent cops will be arrested, either.

We are entering a new era, state legislatures in red states actually proposing "shoot to kill" provisions for protests that turn violent. You can bet no one who is provoking the violence would ever be shot.

It will likely start to get so bad that we'll have to hold protests of children or grandmothers to shame the bastards, if they're still capable of any shame, at all.

The 0.1% seem determined to become divine right aristocrats, something most of our ancestors fled Europe to escape.

4. They can only kill the body

I will never back down, ever. What we are fighting for is righteous, and righteous anger is the strongest. purest anger. We are Warriors, not because who we're fighting, but because of who we are fighting for.

Never back down. Have no fear.

A'Ho,

sage
