    Is your supposedly sarky comment supposed to imply peaceful protests are less effective than, idk, all out war, or whatever the fuck you’re proposing?

    Non-violence and civil disobedience are where it’s at, and exactly what Sanders did in that image and what he is advocating now.

    You’re not familiar with a guy called Gandhi, I take it.

      Ghadi wouldn’t have done shit with out the violent movements going on at the same time.

        Without Gandhi, without MLK, without Malcolm X, there wouldn’t have been any protests to turn violent. It’d be incredibly willfully ignorant to claim that protesting and civil disobedience don’t matter. So stupid, I might even make me suspicious of whether one can — in good faith — be that ignorant.

        So go read a history book, you’re boring me.

        Whatever I say, you’re gonna just write a childish “nuh-uh” reply, so I don’t think there’s anything you can write that’s even of remote interest to me.

            Ah yes, the reply without anything to say.

            Like I said, there’s nothing you could say that would be remotely interesting to me. Guess I was right.

                And whys would you try something you know you’ll fail at, completely understandable buddy.

                You couldn’t hack it with the conversation and now you’ve just ignored it completely, because again, you need to go read some history.
