Non violent protests work on a platform of sympathy, violence is fear, a lot of people lack any sympathy for no kings protests and those against it don’t seem to fear it
How are you going to demand change when a ragtag militia force can stop it?
The simplest answer is usually not one that works, you can disperse crowds with water cannons alone and eliminate stragglers with arrests and rubber bullets
The real answer would probably end up being violence in the end, planned action to sabotage police movements, forming communes to act in unison and to act against the state and their tools
The simplest answer would probably be that the media is afraid on reporting it, so the people don’t know about it, combined with China’s lack of care for environmental concerns outside of their mainland

Holy shit that’s a steal, where I’m from an inferior device is 50% more expensive
to be devil’s advocate, Alaska isn’t as cold as you might assume, the south is hit by a similar current to those that warm Britain, France and Norway, so it is oceanic and has warm currents to heat it up
Still caused by global warming though, but it isn’t as bad as you might think it is, especially if you imagine Alaska to be snowy Taiga and mountainous frozen deserts
I used to view BRICS as the devil but honestly as long as you’re not sanctioned by the west it is a net positive, and their existence alone prevents the ‘sanctioned by the west’ thing being too destructive (I don’t know if people consider this good or bad)
What does a county’s current laws have to do with anything? While America was lynching black Americans Iran was the most progressive state in the region, it can reform with support and the previous protests showed that there is want for it
You can’t reform a genocidal state to stop, but pride can be incorporated into states and made a law and protected with reform
South Korea doesn’t have an interest in convincing that the north is theirs to the world, while China actively pushes for Taiwanese annexation and has the resources to accomplish it
Have these people ever gone to a beach or even outside in the summer?
Supporting Iran limits the ability of Israel to commit to their genocide, support Israel only enhances their capability to genocide and supporting neither only benefits Israel which make use of their partnership with the west
Hate Iran all you want, despise them, that’s fine, but we need to pick anything at this point when the alternative is Israel
It might be better for the gays in Israel, but what about the gays in Palestine, or simply the people within Gaza?
Bro you look good take off your shirt
include ottomans, Netherlands, Mongolia and Japan please
China is based though, if you like or love Chinese history I consider you to be cool as fuck, you are in fact cool if you love Chinese history, Chinese history is so fun educative and it’s just so good
Worked with Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, North Korea, they attempted it with China and now it is time for Iran
Step 1: Accuse nation of having nukes
Step 2.1: If they do not have nukes, invade them and dont even apologise for the death of hundreds of thousands
Step 2.2: If they acquired nukes by the time you accused them, sanction them to shit and use media to turn the land into a dystopian hellscape akin to North Korea or worse
Step 3: Create puppet regime if they ever fall, replace leaders with those that support laissez-faire
Uncritical support of Iran please kick in the face of Israel and USA
