Maybe we should run an experiment and see.

Thanks for the 'advice', but I prefer knives & garrotes to guns; ergo, whenever possible I stay out of gun fights.

Tell that to the billions who live on less than $2 USD per day. Or millions currently out of work in the U.S. Spit out that old mouthwash, neolib.

In a nutshell: When the RICH steal everything, all that's left for THE REST OF US to eat is the RICH. or more prosaically (re: 'violent' protests):

Maybe. We've suggested the status quo concedes the moral-juridical argument and yields to social justice demands for political-economic change now. Ot...

It matters more to me who's been dying & starving since 1619 in contrast to who's benefitted most, almost exclusively, these last four centuries.

Your use (weaponizing spin) of her comments is the non sequitur. I'm handwaving away your comments, man. As a fellow Georgia resident, you know (or sh...

'Non-violent resistance' is only a tactic and not a strategy. (vide Mandela, MLK & Gandhi)

Says who? "The rest of the community" needs to be threatened enough to change those laws & policies which permit, aide & abet domestic terrorism by po...

If you're more concerned about sporadically violent resistance to domestic terrorism than to the systemic domestic terrorism & violence itself, how ar...

I start here, where I live, tonight, with this comrade's plea for sober, critical, angry praxis: https://youtu.be/FKc1o5mJVnQ

So your "suspicious white man" invalidates the uprising and what communities of color and communities of conscience are struggling for? The only 'prov...

"When we revolt it's not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe." ~Frantz Fanon

I don't understand the question.

... "cold" compared to what? (Besides, "when we die", "we" cease becoming all together - "cold" or whatever. :roll: )

Ditto. Ditto. :up: Eliminativism & emergentism are non-exclusionary just as e.g. legs & walking (or atoms & strawberry jam) are non-exclusionary.
