ICE shoots paintball gun at face of protester point blank to surpress protests against killing of female protester - Lemmy.World

Protestors need to start arming themselves.
That is by definition not a protest.
You might want to invest in a dictionary in case you decide to open your mouth and shit out something this stupid in the future.

a strong complaint expressing disagreement, disapproval, or opposition:

  • make a protest - Protests have been made by many people who would be affected by the proposed changes.

  • protest about - A formal protest was made by the German team about their disqualification from the relay final.

  • protest against - Conservation groups have united in protest against the planned new road.

  • in protest - Several members walked out of the meeting in protest.

Instigating an armed conflict is a protest as much as surgery is a dialogue. That said, I think some armed resistance to the ICE would be warranted, but let’s not pretend words can mean whatever you want them to.

Yeah, your being ridiculously pedantic. The concept of protest dies not actually exclude violence.

I am always extremely pedantic.

Violence is not a complaint or in any way a form of legitimate dialogue.

Again, the concept of protest is not limited to legitimate dialogue.

I can go all day!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I suppose if you ignore every logical step then you can claim its definition is whatever you want.

We should come up with a word for this. How about an Ig-No Rant? You’re being Ig-no rant.

Amazing that you have no mirrors anywhere in your life.
Just so you know, you’re 100% wrong.

that’s just your opinion

also let’s just be clear here, it is not violence to protect yourself against violence instigated by others

If ICE force their way onto your property, that’s their violence.

If you force your way onto federal property, that’s your violence.

Federal property is my property… it’s literally publicly owned property.
Federal property is collectively everybody in the country’s property and if everyone in the country agreed to shut these facilities down then we would not be having this conversation.
If WE own ten bucks, YOU cannot spend that ten bucks however you want, even if it is yours in a sense.
Violence is still violence no matter what the motivation.
How did the French revolution go, again? One big ole peaceful protest, right?
The French started by uniting and bankrupting the state, so I reccomend you start there as well, because if you go into a war with a minority of the public to support you then you’re going to wind up less like the French and more like the Spaniards.
You’re arguing against your own position. Or ARE you trying to say that the violent revolution was also a “protest”??
You should be extremely shut the fuck up
