No Kings Protest, Minnesota

This is incredible.

It would be more incredible if those people were armed and swarming the studios of radical fascist media and beating the hell out of pro-trumo.talking heads.

Standing around waving signs and cheerleading shitty chants does nothing and will be forgotten in a week.

History has overwhelming shown that non-violence is more successful than violence. You do you.

I don’t think that’s true. There were violent riots accompanying every major social change in at least recent history.

And famously, it took an entire fucking war to end slavery in the United States.

Now we are debt slaves instead. Success.
I’m wary to use terms like debt slavery or wage slavery because it downplays the horrors of actual slavery.
Yeah there are certainly logistical comparisons that could be made, but like c’mon… actually being completely and legally owned would suck so so so so much worse. Just another reminder of what’s at stake if we don’t put up a fight.
