I was told that it may lead to easier or faster release, and I imagine I might be targeted to be imprisoned if I push it if I don’t bring an ID, but I feel like that’s bullshit but I don’t think I should leave it to chance
Would you bring an ID to a protest?
(Did I accidentally start a struggle session?)
I love the fact that in some “free and democratic” countries you are not even allowed to protest outside of parking lots.
Peaceful Protests are a scam, even more so after the fall of the Communist movement in 1991. Lenin had it figured out in fucking 1905.
In response to this someone just told me to “go read Lenin” like Im pretty sure the guy never wrote about how liberal nonviolent protests which explicitly disavow actual revolutionary action and end up doing nothing but absorbing and dispersing the anger of people who otherwise might be inclined to do more than wave around a sign is actually how you build a fucking revolution
Literally less understanding of power and how revolutions work than the fucking Jan 6 people who thought milling around an empty capital building is how you seize the country
You can definitely use peaceful means to get your demands met. Again looking at 1905, the massive strikes broke the economy and forced the Tsar to capitulate although partially which led to the 1917 Revolution.
But strikes are considered “disruptive” and violent in liberalism. They’re literally illegal in some countries.
But Organising can be done peacefully. Russian socialists spent decades organising mostly peacefully under repression which gave them credibility and support that wouldn’t have been there is they used violent means from the beginning. That led to the successful demonstration of socialist unity in 1905 and the eventual full revolution in 1917.
Yeah like a strike is actually doing something though
Whatever i guess im going to get banned because all my shit is being removed for “ableism” woops i’m on some mods shit list because they love protests ig
I don’t think that’s particularly likely, if they were going to do that they’d have done it by now. At least a ban over ableism, since they’ve already removed the 3 comments that offended.
There’s always the chance that they’ll temp-ban you for hostility, but it hasn’t really reached that level, and it’s usually only a few hours.
I only began to be hostile at being told to read Lenin (ironically a work whose title can be seen as both ableism and a backhanded insult depending on how you feel about “infantile” but I wasn’t elected to the ecumenical council on ableism) while calling me a shit lib and I think ive kept my rudeness at a 2/5 personally but that’s just me. Hope you’re right because I like posting
