Post had nothing to do with murder or violence. It is clear who reddit serves.

    The number of peaceful revolutions we can unfortunately count on one hand. We can strive for to -but we have to be realistic

    However there also has to be a plan. Simply overthrowing the existing rule allows chaos & someone worse to assume power

      The old rule has already been overthrown. By Trump, far right white Christian nationalists, and silicon valley. Unfortunately, it’s being replaced with something way worse.

        yea, like what is currently happening is a “non-violent” coup. They used anger, mass disinformation and propaganda.

        I am not sure I agree that the old rule was replaced. Before, the oligarchs ruled from the shadows by controlling political campaign finances and lobbyists. But now, the oligarchs are so powerful they are ruling directly. The country is still heading in the same direction (relentless growth of power disparity between the rich and power) just at a quicker pace.

        FDR was the last US president that fought for the working class. Every President since Reagan has overseen policies that have weakened the working class and transfered power to the rich. Republicans were far more aggressive about it, but liberals still did it at a slower rate.

                Well then, by that logic, let’s just nuke the entire planet today! Argue in good faith please.

                  I am arguing in good faith. You think should be permitted to continue what he’s doing until a plan is presented for what we do after he’s stopped?

                    Where did I say that? No you’re using hyperbole, that’s not in good faith. No one said let him run wild with no repercussions, they are saying at least have a plan, it could be developed as things go, but just at least let’s have some organization and direction.
