    And that something greater isn’t violence, because any dictatorship would be happy to wipe your ass with violence that no civil protest can match, and the whole world would refuse their support too once the protest becomes violent. We’ve seen it too many times. I know this is new for Americans, and honestly, it’s kind of fun reading and seeing all that. It’s like watching a child make its first mistakes. However, there are many people and nations who have gone through this, you should at least study their experiences.

      There are no consequences present for the criminal actions taken by members of the elite class; it stands to reason that reminding them that they are still beholden to us, the lower members of society, even if the justice system is not working, is the best course of action.
