          I think that’s what the comic you commented on is trying to convey. Arguing that violence isn’t a solution is silly, because oppressors will always use violence to prevent an uprising.

              No such agreement is made in the cartoon. Only the first character expresses a categorical opposition to violence, and the second character calls him out for it.

                Yeah, the comic clearly states that violence is a necessary tool. It lists how it’s currently being used by both the police and the army to maintain the status quo. The woman is pointing out the man’s hypocrisy in believing that change will happen without violence even as violence is exactly what is preventing change. If we want to change the status quo, we’re going to fight back against the violence currently being used to uphold it, which of course means using violence ourselves.

      You’re lecturing an anarchist about not having laws and also breaking rule 2. This is your fair warning, just in case you’re merely doing so out of a concern for Palestinians.

      In any case, I live in the US, and Palestine would be far better off without our military.

        I just read your rules. What makes the US Prison system special over any other prison system? Are you saying we should let Jeff Dahmer go because its America? What about ICE? Should we let unvaccinated folks immigrate? What about trusting the science?

        I dont think youre a lefty, you just hate America.
