    The Peaceful LA Protests of June, 2025 worked. We’re all talking about it now. If the LA protests weren’t peaceful, we would have different talking points for this weekend’s protests and protesters would have been killed. This administration wants this.

    YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it.: https://sh.itjust.works/post/39873361

    Also, this:

    Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

      The media is already treating 4 burned waymos and a dozen police cruisers damaged in a small 5 block radius as the total collapse of order and society.

      The media will keep brodcasting lies.

      Same as they did during the Civil Rights Movement

      Same as BLM in 2020

      You are just learning that all these “violent looter riots” for the last 50 years actually were legitimate protests demonized by the corporate owned media.

        So, you know trump wants to declare martial law so he can do a military coup, starting with California, right? Do you see how violence would be problematic?

          Oh no if we fight back he gets what he wants!

          Guess we better just stand around and he’ll do it anyway but then we won’t have to grow a spine.

              Yeah, I bet you love watching and jerking off to videos of police bashing people trying to protect their rights, families and communities.

              What a fucking demon thing to say.

                No, I’m saying he’s instigating violence, not that he’s going to partake. There is no fucking way that dude is showing up to a protest. I bet he’s not even from this country, like most of the other people calling for violence.

      You don’t even need to revolt.

      Just having a fully-armed protest is enough. Cops are pussies when there’s a credible threat of violence.

    Well if that’s the case, bring rifles. If it’s going to be violent and they won’t leave us a choice, go off.

      So how does this work? Explain this to me. You bring a rifle to a protest and then a shitty ICE dude shoots you with a rubber bullet and then what? Does this end well for anyone.

        You want to talk about shady shit?

        The fucking 50501 movement is funded by Isreal and controlled by Neoliberals.

        The same money that prematurely ended the Covid lock downs because the BLM violent protests were making tangible change on police and election reform.

        I appreciate the desire to be peaceful, but after how long of us sitting around getting shot at and imprisoned are you expecting a fascist oligarchy to give up and go home?

    So, just go into it with violence in mind, then? What advice is this really giving? Shoot first, because they’re just going to lie about it anyway?

    Fuck that.

    Defend yourself if you have to, but telling people to use violence, just makes what they say about protesters, true. Don’t validate them.
