Hoping to hell that's an AI or a bot because this might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard
Before you get depressed, know that there are people who actually are calling this shit out and there are people who are suggesting actual helpful techniques in that sub. But damn, that particular post was wow.
Anyway, I'm not going back to the reddit mines for a while.
Non violent successful protest is probably a myth. For instance in the time of mlk those protestors did organize and defend themselves. If I might recommend Nonviolence Ain't What It Used To Be by Shon Meckfessel. This book explores occupy Wall Street and how the neoliberal state controls the messaging around protest and begs the question as to whether or not the traditional peaceful protest is useful anymore. Given what I have seen in my life I believe it is not. An interesting fact I learned in this book is that one of the famous “peaceful protestors” photos from the era was actually somebody chanting something to the effect of fuck the police and where really angry to see people passively being arrested.
