Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
Are you seriously unable to differentiate between someone saying that we shouldn’t be so quick to take violence off the table, and “I have a plan and the means to immediately begin using violence this second?”
Violence and Non Violence are tools, you don’t throw out your screwdriver when you get a hammer and you don’t try hammering in a screw without trying the screwdriver first.
You can prefer to resolve things peacefully while recognizing that it likely won’t work at the same time.
If someone says 'I think all people should have healthcare" do you respond with 'Go become a Doctor then!"
The far left are pussies for not taking action, and the Liberals are far worse because they are half the reason we are in this mess. Y’all want to prop up Capitalism and Corporations, this is what you get. It doesn’t matter if you asked the ruling class to play nice with the power you handed them or not, it’s not our fault you are so naive.
Name one non-violent protest that changed the material conditions of those protesting, I’ll wait.
The 1989 East German monday demonstrations.
The Velvet Revolution.
Pick up a rifle and do something then.
You guys who want violence are chomping at the bit for someone else to fucking do something and yet you do nothing.
The ‘far left’ in this country are a bunch of fucking pussies who do nothing but complain on the internet.

Can’t answer my question. I’m not surprised.
Liberals never live in reality that is why they allow fascism to happen.
Looks like you are the one being violent with your rhetoric.
Sure thing dude. Whatever you say.
Typical answer that I expected from a liberal like you. You people give up so easily. Is there any fight among liberals at all?
Good luck with your pacifism when they are killing wholesale. Do you like humanity? Maybe defend it against evil once and a while.
I don’t see you pulling triggers, keyboard commando.
What a ridiculous statement.
Vote harder! Interpretative dance and ask nicely.
That’s how real change happens.
And look at this fed (and my answer):

Could it be they are scared of actual change and started a social media campaign?
Coincidentally also the same message from Bernie the sheepdog.
