They do this fun thing in the US for that its called "fucking shoot you". I agree its all fucked up, but if you go an riot and respond with violence you just die dude. I don't want somebody else raising my children because I got shot by the sheriffs patrol
I'm giggling at the idea of anyone rioting at this woman's trial over skimming free gas and charging her friends for it. It'd be this one dude running around punching the air and screaming something about our corporate overlords.
if you can't organize well enough to handle a local sheriff's department, you're pathetic. give me 5 well-armed and coordinated individuals and i'll show you how to make the bastards scared of us.
EDIT: Lemmy is full of little bitch cowards and i'm not going to lose any sleep over the dystopia you limp-wristed fucks inherit.
Violence isn't a way to solve this problem, it would only justify the use of force which the police/military are most willing to do. Fascism develops faster in the face of violence as a way to justify itself.
the threat of force has always been the elephant in the room for any society. if you're scared to fight back, you will be bullied.
I'm sure the feds are shaking, @masterblaster420.
That poster literally told me that being rational was bad. They are beyond gone.
