Allot of social struggles have been won this way. The public will see the truth of the coming tyranny if they see hundreds of average Americans being hauled off to jail for passive civil disobedience. Violent acts, will be used to marginalize us. This requires a willingness to get arrested, not something that comes easily to a conservative.
This ain't beanbag, OK. The media isn't going to be running heroic stories about the brave civil disobedience of our side. It will be pure hatred and propaganda, and the overwhelming view of the sheeple will be: good! They belong in jail!! Let them rot there.
And we will.
Name ten.
Violent acts, will be used to marginalize us.
Only when "we" agree with the enemy when they (invariably) claim the violence wasn't justified.
Yes, but what works against the British (India) does not work against the Soviets or the Nazis.
