Whimpering and skulking are not acts of nonviolence. They are the work of cowards. Nonviolence involves civil disobedience and confronting evil directly and forcefully.

Incidentally, a useful observation from a Nineteenth Century French anarchist: “You can’t avoid violence, you can only choose to be the victim.”

(This is a paraphrase, it’s been a long time since I saw the original. But the thought is there.)

Right; that's what I said.....sit-in's, holding hands, and singing Kumbaya as the country dissolves under the Marxists....you've got a GREAT PLAN, there.

Nonviolence is a workable tactic if ones opponent is civilized. SEIU and the Teamsters Union Management are goons with a long history of violence against unarmed opponents. Using nonviolence also requires a free press that will show what’s actually going on. We don’t have that.

Opponent need not be civilized but the culture must be. A deeper investigation of nv power demonstrates it is most effective when it is proactive and confrontational. The Tieneman Square massacre did not produce immediate change but its long term effects have been substantial. The CPC is still the most opressive regime on earth but is acts with greater circumspection. The sacrifice of freedom loving Chinese has not been forgotten. Their bravery will bring down the reign of terror that is the CPC.

I’m not sacrificing myself to any SEIU or Teamster union punks for some future benefit. If a conflict starts some of them will meet a .308 at near warp speed. If there are going to be bodies in the square, I for one hope they have union cards.

What you are advocating is foolish. Letting yourself be beat to a pulp or possibly killed is not an acceptable response, except for fools who have never been exposed to that type of violence. If you are ever at a tea party rally and try this sh** you are spouting, I hope you are the one lying on the ground bleeding and not some poor fool who listened to you.

Been there, done that. You have no understanding of the power and effect of nonviolence.

>>Are you only similar to Satan?<<

Only one of Satan’s minions would ask such a question. First you compare yourself to Christ, then you speak with Lucifer’s tongue.

Begone, evil. We see through you.
