these protests already have become violent and to pretend that they have not is missing the point. the uprising in LA is exemplary of that. and no, i reject your repeated insistence that i’m “leading” anything instead of presenting ideas to a forum. have a good day

again i’m not saying attempt loyalty shifts with the end goal of purely physical violence, merely organized violence — specifically collective sociopolitical deprivation when we’re talking about shifting the ideological balance of an instrument of power (military, police, civil servants).

“…resistance campaigns that compel loyalty shifts among security forces and civilian bureaucrats are likely to succeed.”

i’m not saying jump to defcon 1. we have to consider how we apply nonviolent tactics to a broader strategy. guns are only one part of war.

yeah the 1% wants chaos in the hoi polloi, hence the shills. they don’t want organized violence. chenoweth’s principles of successful protest movements can be applied to different ends.
