So you are arguing that the optimal strategy is to do one protest to make your point about the state, and then start unleashing violence?

Ok. Thank you for admitting you don't comprehend the point of protests.

Until you learn how dictators have been stripped from their violence historically, I have no further use to engage your bad faith view of demolition.

You just linked to a play in order to make your point. That is pretty consistent with you living in a world of fantasy, I must say.

If you think that demolishing a building is the best course of action at this time then so be it, but don't act like I am the one with a bad faith view because you insist on calling it a peaceful act, and I am merely pointing it out.

Demolition of facist tools of invasion of privacy is literally what this community is about. “Abolition” if you require a synonym.

Thank you for not removing your beam from the ICE course of violence.

I do not think that it is within the power of these particular protestors to "abolish" anything, so saying they should do that next seems a bit silly.

Thank you for not removing your beam from the ICE course of violence.

Where did I ever say that their course of violence was not bad? That is a projection on your part. You are arguing with an invented fantasy version of me rather than the person that actually exists.

But hey, let me help you out a bit. If you think that violence is necessary, then I would actually strongly recommend reading the Bhagavad Gita because it has you covered, as it is basically all about a god (Lord Krishna) trying to convince a man (Arjuna) not to abandon a battle on both the physical and spiritual plain. Lots of verses are relevant, but to limit myself to a few (2:31-33):

Considering your dharma, you should not vacillate. For a warrior, nothing is higher than a war against evil. The warrior confronted with such a war should be pleased, Arjuna, for it comes as an open gate to heaven. But if you do not participate in this battle against evil, you will incur sin, violating your dharma and your honor.
