    I always tell this to people calling me to go to protests now: “Call me when you guys actually intend to burn shit down and drag some necks into the guillotine. If you’re just gonna pretend to be angry, I’m not interested.” No change will ever come from playing their game, Dr King showed everybody that even if you’re playing with their rules, you’ll still end up with a bullet if you become too big of a threat. The real game is all about violence, one side is more than willing to use it, why aren’t we?

      If you’re not willing to go to even simple protests, I have terrible believing you’d be up for anything violent.

      Plus protests have more users than their immediate effects.

      Well, the simple answer is that the other side has military hardware. Most people don’t want to be martyrs, so it won’t happen until someone steps up and crowd mentality kicks in.
