I like you Dream so I'm going to be respectful here but destroying public property is not peaceful protest. This is what caused the failure of BLM. Most normal people are turned off by bad behavior. A better strategy would have been sit-ins on the outside property itself butโฆ

I'm going to post this here so if anybody wants to pile on.
I gave up after about an hour trying to explain that destroying property and acting r-slurred as bad actually.
Feel free to make fun of me for trying. I'm drunk

It's demonstrably true that the protests were indeed majorly peaceful until the police and pro-Israel thugs stormed into the encampments and started assaulting students. This idea that the reason why the cops were called in was due to student violence is fricking hysterical lol.
I swear, the amount of bootlickers in this site these days is crazy. Unironically

Welcome to the real world where people will spin even the slightest mistake into your whole movement being violent.
You can cope and seethe all you want, but the reality is that the most successful movements were those that were so peaceful that they literally allowed police and fascists to beat them, sometimes to death.
I'm sorry you thought revolution meant shitposting on the internet, but it actually means throwing your body on the gears of the machine and being willing to sacrifice yourself for a greater cause. You fricking kitty.

Every right we take for granted today wasn't "gifted" to us, it was won. Never forget that. Because if you genuinely believe that the monarchs and aristocrats of old gave the serfs and proles rights simply out of the kindness of their hearts then I have a bridge to sell you. Same dynamic applies to the ruling classes of today. Every right we have was won by active coercion. Every single last one of them.
In this case the students were very much not violent at all, it was the cops and the pro-Israel goons, but sure.

Mostly through peaceful means. Sorry, tard, but history is mostly boring. It's everyday interactions and ideas built over a very long time that get things "moving." With the rise of towns came merchants and trade. International trade associations complete with private courts and security sprung into existence to compensate for the shit systems of government. Much of common law, which you live and breathe in, was built on the backs of everyday farmers and traders. Centuries of weedling and begging r-slurred demogogues for a crum of private property has become the pillar from which you can buy your dumbphone and b-word and moan about capitalism.
Almost all the violent "revolutions" have been absolute failures because they simply replace the status quo peepeeheads with another set of peepeeheads, e.g. the French Revolution, the Bolshevik uprising, Mao's nonsense, and almost every turd world coup in the ME, Africa, Latin America, and South America.
You Marxist-inspired pieces of shit have been kicking the brakes of civilization since 1848. Y'all keep measuring change in terms of blood and death, while everyone else does it with cash and credit. Socialists truly are the BIPOCs of world history.

The idea that peaceful protests/revolutions in the past could have achieved results in a vacuum independent of the threat or existence of violence is fricking hysterical and ahistorical. Just the most pea brained understanding of history.
This BIPOC thinks the merchant courts of the 16/17th century are the foundation of our legal systems and rights
. R-slur, the proles didn't have any real rights under the feudal system and it wasn't until Napoleon came along and shook things up that Europeans drafted general civil codes. 
That you're right about.
You mean centuries of collective action, organized labor, boycotts and political activism. To which there's mountains of literature detailing the progress from the early industrial revolution to today. Progress that shows active coercion by the masses absolutely works and achieves results. We would still have 8 year olds working in factories and have 100 hour work weeks if the people back in 19th century hadn't collectively demanded better working conditions, rights and protections.
The French Revolution took down the feudal system that had been in place for centuries and replaced with an objectively progressive (at the time) alternative. Same deal in Russia with the Bolsheviks which liberated millions of serfs from Tsarism. Same deal in China with Mao who freed the Chinese from European imperialism and elevated hundreds of millions of peasants.
BIPOC, if it weren't for "Marxist-inspired pieces of shit" your goofy butt would still be stuck working in 19th century working conditions and working a 100 hour weeks with no healthcare, no paid overtime or any kind of vacation time, let alone paid vacation etc..

And in the last 50 years they've been won through non-violent means. Normies always respond better to images of completely peaceful martyrs getting beaten for a cause. It's personally and narcissistically a lot more fun to graffiti a building or smash a window though.

I don't think it's as much they don't understand optics as it is to them the only way to show devotion to a cause is to loudly and violently demonstrate your passion and dedication, so a peaceful sit in might be more effective with the normies but won't win them any cred with their peers

And I think that that ideology blinds them to optics. They're more worried about virtue signaling than actually effecting change because they don't really care about the cause. They care about how they're seen, because their ideology is "show fealty to the cause".
It's all performative

Hey, in
town any dispute where they aren't shooting each other is mostly peaceful.
I think they should issue boxing gloves and encourage both sides to punch out their feelings. It would also clear out some of the trendwhore college kids who want to be cool, but not enough to get punched in the face for it.

Reminds me of the BLM days. โ90% of the protests were peaceful!โ Oh so only 10% of the 3,000 protests turned into violent riots? So, like, 300 violent riots? I don't know, still seems like kind of a lot to me

The thing about that too, is they counted every protest, even protests with 2 people, to pad the stats. I'm not even sure it's possible to riot with 2 people.
