Can't believe that this wasn't previously sifted

It was:

^ Have you heard from these guys?

It would only be a cop-out if I failed to explain my position fully, or evaded the question entirely. I thought I fulfilled my obligation, though.

And I would like a follow-up to the words "but still." Don't stop debating with me now, MINK.

>> ^MINK:
yeah that is a coherent and valid copout, but still.

Personally, I don't give a shit either way. I can advocate violence without moving from my seat, because I'm not advocating anything for myself. I'm merely suggesting a better alternative for those in this video who are willing to stand up and do something to fight against their "oppressors." I'm offering a solution that doesn't involve standing in front of a group of musicians and chanting along with whatever they say. I love Rage Against the Machine, but when the crowd mimics their every word like a bunch of lemmings, it bothers me. Because they're not really doing anything. I'll bet you that most of those people didn't change a goddamned thing that day. But they all went home and said, "I listened to RATM live and a cappella!"

I could transfer a message to millions of people by shooting a bunch of people in a McDonald's. Within minutes, every 24-hour news station would be focused on Boise, Idaho, and my "message" would be sent to millions around the world. But that wouldn't mean they couldn't change the channel a second later and shrug their shoulders, saying to themselves, "Another one? Wow. Oh well, time for my coffee break!" So it's not transferring a message that is important; it's how the action of that message is activated. But what does it matter if that message is sent to millions of people who turn the channel to Spongebob Squarepants? That's what millions do every day, and that's what our President does, because he loves Spongebob.

So I sit at home and quietly wait for the government to eventually destroy everything for which our predecessors worked so hard. Does it bother me? Yes, to an extent. But I know that in the end I really don't care that much either way. I'm a bit of a pessimist and an apathetic figure, if you must know. But at least I'm honest. I'd really hate myself if I advocated violence and then sat at home, hoping someone else would do it for me. But that's not me. Oh, time for my coffee break.

>> ^MINK:
weird how people write pathetic internet comments about how there should be an armed revolution, while sitting on their asses.
you're just embarassed here by someone actually doing something, actually transferring their message to millions of people... because you personally don't do shit.

As long as they first obtain a protest permit, then a revolution permit. Wouldn't want to overthrow the government illegally, right?

>> ^Abducted:
Be a true patriot and overthrow your government! The way the founding fathers wanted it to be done, with blood flowing!

Hadn't read that one before. Thanks.

Godamn, this is what I like to see.

Revolution is the Pod
Systems rattle from
When the Winds of Will are stirred
Excellent is Bloom

But except its Russet Base
Every Summer be
The Entomber of itself,
So of Liberty --

Left inactive on the Stalk
All its Purple fled
Revolution shakes it for
Test if it be dead. - Emily Dickinson

How do you peacefully protest something? Ask nicely for the government to quit raping the earth and committing genocide against millions of innocent people, all while funding wars that deplete our national reserve of both money and soldiers? Offer them brownies in exchange for peace? Get real.

I advocate violence, not in irrational amounts that cause chaos, but in specifically utilized methods that bring down the establishment and allow for the emergence of a true republic. All while peaceful protesters are constantly ignored, because nobody in power listens to peace.

Oh, and did you just say my icon is a joke? First of all, "avatar icon" is redundant, like your junk DNA. Secondly, it's meant to be a joke. Either that or Zombie Bush just ate your entire family, peacenik. Fuck off.

>> ^cigaro78:
"Overturn cars! Knock over reporters!"
Haha listen to you pencil neck in front of your PC, criticizing a peaceful protest and advocating violence. You're a joke, you and your avatar icon.
