What I’ve learned is that it’s basically impossible to convince people that the only real way to solve this is violent revolution.

    Given your lack of history of violent revolution (I'm assuming), I'd guess it's because you look like a hypocrite for sitting behind a keyboard and telling others to do something you're not willing to do yourself.

    I’ve already spent years of my life in activism (the actual kind where you do work and try to build community, inevitably get added to watch lists, etc) trying to motivate others. I’ve helped with Food Not Bombs, etc. I’ve done a decent amount of “walk the walk” but I’ve also got a life to live. The US is deep into a propaganda hole that I’m afraid is gonna take a long time to climb out of and people have goldfish brains. I don’t really care how I come off to folks on the internet.
