When they answer like that, ask them WHEN in history "peaceful protest" worked. HOPE they are like every brainwashed idiot, and say "Gandhi". :D
Ghandi staged the "peaceful Protests" whilst funding the VIOLENT groups to actually get shit done.
then point them to DOCTRINE OF THE SWORD: http://www.mkgandhi.org/nonviolence/Doctrine%20of%20the%20sword.htm
I am a "racist" for the jokes. Gandhi HATED black people. ABSOLUTELY HATED them, and thought they should be put in concentration camps... NO REALLY! Look it up! He wrote VOLUMES on how much he hated black people.
I have used that exact line of reasoning and was labeled racist by these new age fucktards. My response was : "you are the ones ignorantly engaged in commercial warfare and occupation of stolen territory "
In the jurisdiction of "Canada" peaceful protesters will likely lose the "right" to vote under Bill C-51 legislation. I was labeled crazy for that statement.
Virtually every day in large metropolitan areas you can look out the window and see a parade passing by. Some draw moderate attention - the nude bicyclists (I'm still not sure how they managed to pull that off) - but most pass relatively unnoticed. Last weekend the mother of all protest marches went by, blocking main streets and thoroughfares for what seemed like an eternity.
I watched as people passed by with signs for "native rights", anti-GMO, water conservation, anti-frakking, anti-abortion, gay marriage rights; trying to make sense of whether there was a general theme. It was prohibitively hot and there seemed to be no consensus among the "protesters" as to any general theme. I congratulate everyone for showing up, but with the possible exception of sun stroke, I'm at a loss as to what they may have accomplished.
It reminded me a lot of a scene from Terry Gilliam's 1985 Movie, Brazil.
