I wonder... if I were to go to one of those protests/riots with a sign that just said "I'm tired of violence" how would I be perceived?
The message can easily be interpreted both as one against the rioting and violence that these protests spark, and we know that if you bad mouth the violence you'll suddenly be seen as anti-protests and pro-cops, and we know how that ends up. But the message can also be interpreted as being against the initial violence that supposedly sparked the current manifestations (ie death of Floyd).
So the question is, how would a rioting mob interpret it?

@alyx have you ever seen revolution without blood? people seem to forget quickly police dont have brain they take orders from government. This is war of government against their own people. This is what governments do. You stop it only by removing government. preferably not forming it ever again.

@akeno
Go try Anarchy for a couple of years and get back to me how it worked out. That is if you survive a couple of years.
@alyx

@Jack @alyx how is government working out for you LOL anarchy worked before...Anarchist Spain etc.

@akeno
Government is working out brilliant for me. They keep me in a job and the tax payer dollar pays for all my expensive habits.
@alyx

@Jack @alyx So you are Fascist. Thats who this war is against. Good luck It's billions of us against few of you.

@akeno @Jack
You have a really low bar for what counts as fascism friend. Please reconsider your life.

@alyx @Jack Yes I guess thats why thousands protest in your country soon millions. because government works LOL

@akeno @Jack
Let me know how Anarchist Spain is doing right now. Oh... that's right. There is no Anarchist Spain currently.

It seems governments still have a better track record of working.
Even feudalism probably has a better track record.

@alyx @akeno @Jack Literally everything has a better track record than Anarchism. Even Juche communism lmao.

@adrint @alyx @Jack You all call "good track record" fact that people must do revolutions and die to have rights? WOW

@akeno @adrint @Jack
Bro, in Anarchy there is nothing and no one that can ensure your human rights are respected. The government is not the one that decides what your human rights are, but it is the only thing that can enforce and protect your rights once it recognizes them.

@alyx @akeno @adrint @Jack why can't you protect your rights yourself. government isn't doing much about stores being robbed.

@colonelj @Jack @akeno @adrint
There's only so much you will ever be able to do to protect your rights yourself. There will always still be moments when you need things like an impartial justice system to handle disputes. To some degree you can protect your property, but who will you trust to rightfully divide that property if you ever get a divorce for example.

@alyx @colonelj @Jack @adrint Nonsense. would you read on anarchy already please? But to simplify Anarchy = LAW and freedom without force.
State = law and freedom with force
Force= no law, no freedom. Put things together. you must be rich if you like gov so much. So here we go again: "Until it happens to you" ....I hope soon.

LOL there is no such thing as anarcho-anything. Only anarchy.Otherwise you could come up even with anarcho-fascism

@akeno @colonelj @Jack @adrint
You cannot have law without a state power to enforce it. Without force you can't even ensure people respect any law. Seriously, why would I, or anyone else, do what you say in your vision of anarchy if there is no threat of force?

@alyx
Anarchists live in fantasy land. They believe that everyone will hold hands and sing songs together choosing to ignore the fact that not everyone wants to live the way they do.

Anarchy as its core is might makes right. So I hope all the soyboys enjoy being slaves while they watch their female friends and family members getting raped.

@Jack @colonelj @akeno @adrint
Thing is, there will always be an individual, or group of individuals, that gather more might, and by using it, they will force everyone else to do as they say, thus becoming the new leaders and erasing anarchy.

Good way to put it. I usually call it an idealistic political ideology. It's very beautiful and interesting when you put it down on paper, taking in consideration only perfect parameters. But humans are highly imperfect and flawed, and we just don't fit in with that perfectly laid down plan for anarchy. Or communism. Or fascism. Or nazism. Or any number of other idealistic political systems.
