Photoshopped poster of the movie "Do the right thing". Text was changed to "Do the right thing" and the person on the poster was given a big brick in their hands and a black baclava to cover their face.

First, look up Martin Luther King. He called for non-violence in a situation that was much worse, against a tougher foe.

So? I dont agree with him.

Second, who made you leader? Who decided that you had the right to instigate violence?

I am not presenting as an authority figure or as anyones boss. I am fine if you dont want to join. I think thats totally valid. But I can "instigate violence" because its covered by the instance rules, because its not looked down upon in this community and because from my anarchist perspective it seems to be one of the most effective actions you can currently take.

Because you keep ignoring my basic point, that it's not going to be the one who throws the brick who will get caught.

Its just a statement without any reasoning, proof or context. As I have shown multiple times in our discussion, I value different viewpoints especially if they get brought forward kn good faith. But valuing them doesnt mean I have to agree with everything you say.

    Do you think you can throw a brick at a cop and the police won't respond and start breaking every head they can find?

    Folks in Minneapolis burned down a whole police station after throwing bricks. This is of course an extreme example but it should show the possibilities of how it could go instead.

    Ever heard of Kent State?

    That wasn't even particularly violent, and four people died.

    Well, if you honestly can't comprehend people dying that is a good reason for you not to involve yourself in any activities outside of your home.

    Maybe you should try talking to people you know who are smarter than you and ask them to explain.
