If you believe nonviolent protest is more effective, then simply advocate for it. -
If you believe nonviolent protest is more effective, then simply advocate for it.It's not the fascists' opinions that matter.
Once anti-fascists initiate violence, we lose the judges, we lose the citizens, we lose the sympathy of non-corrupt law enforcement.
Those people's minds are the actual battlefield which determines whether we win or lose.

During the Iraq war I let people gaslight me into thinking I didn't know enough about "foreign policy" and "global politics" to say the war was a bad idea.The big tell for us was that the war urgently needed to happen but Bush couldn't show us proof *why* because it was too classified. Dude you're the president, if you can't declassify then it doesn't exist.
