Declaring peaceful, nondestructive protest to be violent and destructive, and suppressing it on those grounds, is a recipe for fostering violent and destructive protest.

You might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb, and all that.

I remember learning in school where some dude said something like, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable" but I bet he was some sort of pinko.

That's mostly what the people doing the framing want. Farming clips for conservative news generally gets them the goals they want. The ability to just wholesale make up a bunch of lies about what actually is going on because you can show clips of a dumpster fire goes a long way.

So vandalism, smashing windows, taking over buildings, beating people, and using anti semitic slurs isn’t destruction and violence? Got it.

It’s what they want? They want grounds for mass rounding up of anyone against the war and are creating casus belli to do it

What was that quote from the George Floyd demos? "We showed up with signs and you gassed us. We showed up with masks and you beat us. We showed up with shields and you came with tanks, saying we're prepared for battle? Shit man, you started this."

This whole net of arguing has two false equivalences: property damage is the same thing as violence against human beings; and that all protest no matter the nature should be treated the same- overwhelming brutalizing form.

Doubly so if there is already violent and destructive *backlash* without consequence from law enforcement or institutions. If heads are already getting cracked and only one side is subject to rules or punishment...eventually a few people may decide they might as well do something "worth punishing."

This is exactly how resistance groups are formed. Then they are labeled as terrorist orgs. It’s happened time and time again. At this point it’s intentional. This is how we prepare to go to war against them. I can’t believe the gov talks of tolerance but they do this when it serves their purpose
