They’re going to wear “Yes Kings” t-shirts.
History shows that the public will side against the group they perceive to be the most violent. So let's let them get that fame before we start firing back
Not disagreeing necessarily, but it feels really bad to voluntarily sacrifice human lives so that we can build good will with the public.
It's a matter of perspective and who would die if such and such happened vs this other thing.
As the old saying goes, the ends justify the means, right?
In chess the pawns get sacrificed. That's how all armed conflict goes, man.
nuh uh if you open the position without proper development you're just gonna mess up your pawn structure and leave yourself vulnerable to rook attacks on the open files
My title would be proud boys get stiffys while posting violence fetish fantasies online from their parents basements.
Can anyone think of a case where opening fire on unarmed citizens actually caused unrest to die down? Because I can't think of a single case. Even in Russia, the Russian Revolution of 1905 was sparked off by firing on civilians.
In every case I can think of it made things worse for whoever was in charge. Aren't there any counterexamples?
Weren't there a couple of unrests in proxy states it the Soviet Union that were ended with violence?
Tiananmen square.
They want it to escalate
They think they do.
This article is from Friday. It doesn't make it entirely irrelevant, but keep it in mind and take the fear element of it with a grain of salt. Proud Boys are all talk.
I mean to be honest, they’re not Proud Men.
That's a good one, gonna use that.
Just notice that when these Trumper nazis with guns were actually confronted by those who fought back, they ran.
They are scared of us. We need to just keep building momentum.
"Commit terrorism!" LOL memes are great these days! /s
