Is this how we actually make social progress? Because if this is the only effective tool we have left...
When peaceful options such as strikes, protests, and lobbying do not work. Once, people hit the tipping point of "I have reasons not to die to fuck it, I have nothing left." People will choose violence.
Add legislation, regulation, and prosecution to the list of failed peaceful attempts as well. The citizens have tried, and tried, and tried peaceful approaches. Almost nothing works anymore, because the rich have dismantled the US.

Ballot box

It was bound to get to this point eventually. Who was it who said something about what happens when all avenues for change are removed except for the point of a blade?
Many have said similar things through the years, perhaps most appropriately from a US President only 60 years ago. On March 13, 1962 by John F. Kennedy, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable”.
They've forgotten that all of the tools they've rendered inert were there to prevent us from doing this.
