Usually when I hear this argument (and it is VERY often), the person saying it usually seems to think MLK Jr was a hand-holding hippy who worshiped the white community.
what I want from rioters is to calm the fuck down and protest peacefully. looting and rioting does nothing to advance your point, all it does is make people pay attention to you and stereotype you as violent thugs. peaceful protesting should always, always, be about dialogue. what the fuck is the dialogue put forth by violence? to fight fire with fire.

Quote:
I don't think mindless violence will accomplish anything (and in regards to Trump that goes for both sides) but what the fuck do people mean when they say "peaceful protesting"? Living in the city teaches you quickly that holding hands, singing songs and brandishing your "Love Trumps Hate" signs WON'T ACCOMPLISH JACKSHIT. Change only comes when people actually shake shit up.
yeah no shit shaking things up is the way to go, but like you said,

Quote:
I don't support ransacking or looting or actual violence, but a successful "peaceful protest" (at least IME the protests that actually get legislation signed) still requires you actually shake shit up like chain yourself to a building or illegally sit inside an office until arrest.
ransacking, looting, violence does nothing. beating the shit out of trump supporters does nothing. it's a net negative.

Quote:
And with that in mind, I don't think Trump supporters would even support true peaceful protesting (hurr hurr guns hurr hurr hypocrisy) because aren't we supposed to "fall in line" now?
how many people voted for trump? what are the chances that all of them aren't open to real dialogue? don't let the internet alt-right shitlords get you upset. not all trump supporters are pieces of shit. just like not all hillary supporters are pieces of shit.

there are good people on both sides. those good people need to start talking, not sending each other death threats.

So long as we're in basic agreement here I'm satisfied. The term "peaceful protesting" leads to too much confusion when people equate it to meaningless, aimless jam-band bullshit.

I'd agree with this except at the moment Trump hasn't DONE anything to protest yet (besides pick a shitty cabinet?). This is me though, I just can't see the point of protesting, violent or non-violent, when NOTHING is gonna come from it before January (unless you actually believe the anti-Electoral College protests have a chance LMFAO yeah right).

When Trump has some power to actually, like, fuck up the Paris Agreement at the very moment then yeah it's time to start shaking shit up but right now it's just pointless and won't change shit.

The last time the republicans held the house, senate, and presidency at the same time, the next major event that happened was the Great Depression.

Before we have a Great Depression we're gonna have a dead planet based on Trump's movements towards fucking up the slight progress we've made in favor of MORE OIL MORE OIL

this was ruled by the us district court as a violation of the first amendment.

pompeo is a huge supporter of the nsa surveillance programs. there are a few other things that make him out to be a piece of shit but this is the only thing that matters given that he's been selected to be the fucking director of the CIA.

bannon is the executive chairman of breitbart and has been connected to the alt-right
