- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

That's a cute theory, but fascists usually aren't interested in changing the question.
Neither are mosquitoes.
Well, then you just have to change their minds. Physically.
What are you going to do? make me?
You're right, it is. But who has the power to do that? It's not usually the people who would benefit from it; violence is the last resort of people whose other forms of control over their own lives have been stripped from them.
A rat backed into a corner lashes out in desperation. You might give the alternative solution to simply move its pursuer, but that only serves to show that you don't understand how the rat has no such power.
You’re right, violence is not the answer, it’s the question. And the answer is yes.
Violence isn't the answer. It is a question. And the answer is 'yes'.
