Those non-violent protests shook them so bad they wanted to charge non-violent Quaker protestors with terrorism.

Is true.

That is why so soooo many headlines everywhere are preaching how this should have been done through voting & protests or whatever.

Iirc majority of Murikans want public healthcare for at least two decades now, yet nothing has changed (except living generations).

But taxes!!!!!

Said anyone who doesn't know that minus $600/month that only covers the basics plus $300? in taxes that covers a lot more is a net savings.

Peaceful protest, electoralism, those are spooks. If you want to stop something, try physical destruction.

Not opposing your comment at all, more of a rare occurrence fun fact: Even an actual (ie financially or personality effective) show of power is enough sometimes.

Eg unions in USA haven't killed any tycoons for the longest time. But they do get a loaf of bread per week more in wages when they stop working for a few days.

Not all revolutions need to be as complete as the French or Russian (tho that works, but also costs a few years of instability & political power struggles), 10% of the elite de-elited (eg losing their wealth bcs of direct demos actions) would send a big message in USAs case.

Even just for something as mundane as protected bike lanes, I've found through personal experience that just a couple instances of direct action against motorists who tried to park in them was infinitely more effective than years of begging peacefully for barriers.

Haha, the crossing is funny.

I've seen the other two & I just wish some laws would be passed making it legal to damage cars in a bike lane.

To circle back to the main topic - Americans should be required by law to disclose how likely they are to murder anyone involved when writing a claim to their insurer. Same thought process as the crossing with a brick.

Especially so in a system like in the USA
