RE: Why I Don’t Believe Peaceful Protests Work Without A Fear Of Possible Violence
"By violence im also talking about ways that aren’t exactly violent but don’t play by the rules, such as hacking whistle-blowing and revealing documents that can potentially get people hurt, for the greater good. "
I believe this is a good thing to put pressure on our modern tyrants. Wiki leaks, snowden, things like this are crucial.
Please keep in mind I am not the type to take to the street and hurt a fellow citizen because I'm angry that he/she is a representative of the law, who tries upholds the peace. (law enforcement)
We can shake things up without mass violence!
The revolution will be powered by mass non-compliance. We will not convert law enforcement by violence, but by discussion. Everyone can see the truth in non-aggression. Once they open their eyes because of the censorship free parts of the internet, they will also see the government for what it truly is, a violent entity, and will join us in non-compliance.
But what about national security? Is there anything you'd be against releasing based on national security grounds? The guy who released the pentagon papers didn't run away to Russia. I think Snoden erred because he revealed some of our terrorist hunting methods + some of our foreign spy operations. from what I read he stole so much material he couldn't vet all of it, he just passed tons of shit to Greenwald. I'm not the most anti-snoden guy you'll ever come across, but I would like to see him tried by a jury of his peers on treason charges. Also there are many places where street protests are shut down with bullets, sometimes I think people protesting America's problems lack global context.
