The Peaceful LA Protests of June, 2025 worked. We're all talking about it now. If the LA protests weren't peaceful, we would have different talking points for this weekend's protests and protesters would have been killed. This administration wants this.

YSK - That there is a lot of trolling and brigading starting to happen around the LA peaceful protests to start violence. Here is a roadmap from 2015 on how they do it.: https://sh.itjust.works/post/39873361

Also, this:

Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.

The media is already treating 4 burned waymos and a dozen police cruisers damaged in a small 5 block radius as the total collapse of order and society.

The media will keep brodcasting lies.

Same as they did during the Civil Rights Movement

Same as BLM in 2020

You are just learning that all these "violent looter riots" for the last 50 years actually were legitimate protests demonized by the corporate owned media.

Funny, the NPR and local news reports as well as the statements from our mayor and governor have emphasized the nonviolent and peaceful nature of the protests. They've noted that even the after-dark vandalism and misbehaving is less than a typical sports-championship crowd. Sure "FOX News" is screaming lies, but nobody is supposed to believe that, their own lawyers said so.

Which political party's PACS does your mayor and governor receive funding from?

So, you know trump wants to declare martial law so he can do a military coup, starting with California, right? Do you see how violence would be problematic?

Oh no if we fight back he gets what he wants!

Guess we better just stand around and he'll do it anyway but then we won't have to grow a spine.

Are you going to videotape you doing this? I'd like to watch.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I bet you love watching and jerking off to videos of police bashing people trying to protect their rights, families and communities.

What a fucking demon thing to say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, I'm saying he's instigating violence, not that he's going to partake. There is no fucking way that dude is showing up to a protest. I bet he's not even from this country, like most of the other people calling for violence.

Are you illiterate or are you an asshole?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They probably don't know what Sapphic means

Is that it, @[email protected]?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I actually had no idea, lol. Sorry if I offended anyone for the dude part. The rest of that comment I stand by.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Apparently illiterate? Not a word I've ever heard before.

Have fun screaming at your monitor while the adults change the world.

You still haven't explained how you're going to do that:

  • Step one: Carry rifles and other guns openly to a protest where the soldiers/agents are itching to shoot you.
  • Step two: ?
  • Step three: Be dead or "change the world." I guess it is changing your world.

Have fun screaming at your monitor while the adults change the world.
