I wonder what “Irish American Zionist” Joe Biden thinks of this?

    If you raise any force of violence enough then government will come down on you regardless of who you are from Waco to MOVE. A government just has a monopoly on violence and the US has the monopoly of violence in the world

    I’m not saying give up but the idea of the armed overthrow is not the best idea. Especially at this stage in the issue

      I think hundreds of thousands or even millions of citizens engaging in armed protest would be impossible to address the way the Koresh or Ruby Ridge scenarios were handled.

      Their response would need to be smart and nuanced and would need to address core issues to really make it stop.

        I didn’t say overthrow, I said protest.

        Where did you get the idea that armed protests always result in that?

        Armed protests simply prevents cops and authorities to quell your voice. Then you can have a seat at their table and eat their lunch, so to speak.
