With the tech media (social media) and just strait up propaganda networks like Newsmax and Fox in their prime, doesn't any distruction just allow them to label the protest as violent at best and domestic terrorism at worst? How does that move the needle in any direction other than right when they can point to video of "thugs" harming "small business" and shout it over and over?
That's when breaking the state monopoly on violence comes into play. Does that move the needle? It's sometimes been successful in the past.
I'm not advocating for anything, simply recognizing the inevitable when no other avenues for justice and change exist.
I’ve been arrested for ‘breaking the state monopoly on violence’ several times. The first couple of times is pretty nerve-wracking. After that, it becomes easier, as the cops, magistrates, and warders get to know you.
Torches and pitchforks might be your only hope.
