Not sure if this is even the right meme? But seriously, stop being dickwads and protest in a sensible manner. Graffiti and destroying the surrounding neighborhood lends no strength to your argument. You should be protesting for injustice not to support your anarchist agenda.

Peaceful protesters have also been pretty much ignored
Trafficsquid
Not an unpopular opinion at all

Ordinary people do fucked up things when fucked up things become ordinary

That's always the right answer.

People have peacefully protested for years, like kneeling. It got them jack all. You step on people enough and they'll bite back.

This is not an unpopular opinion though.
Gerfendor
The comments would say otherwise lol
SterlingArcherSecretAgent
Angry people are always the loudest. Most people who agree probably just scroll on, ignoring it.

Gandhi would be disappointed.
TheRealAlpharius
The forefathers would be proud.
FreedomFarmer45
They sure would.

I am all for civil disobedience. There is no chance of winning with force against the state.
TheRealAlpharius
The ending of segregation, women's right to vote, and several legal reforms beg to differ. Riots work.
thebirdsnake3916
Those were won more through the power of ideas firmly stood for then by violence.
TheRealAlpharius
Completely false. They were won as concessions because of serious threats to state power.

thebirdsnake3916
No. Just like that. That is exactly what should done. More of this please.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Exactly like that, actually. Plus a thousand other ways. Not looting tho, unless you like the convo to be about that instead of racism etc.
TheRealAlpharius
If only looting and property damage weren't effective protest tactics, I'd agree.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Effective? To which end? I mean, you do see how much of your national conversation already is about that instead of police brutality?
TheRealAlpharius
From the Boston Tea Party to the protests against the 1999 World Trade Organization summit in Seattle, looting is economically effective.
thebirdsnake3916
The Boston Tea Party was and act against the state not random innocent civilians.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Because no more WTO (or G7, G8, G20) meetings were held since then? Because global trade policies were changed because of violent protests?

Read how the sons of liberty acted in Boston tea party before you comment. It’s opposite of what you argue.
