Majority of those surveyed still disagree with political violence
I do think it’s possible to vote your way into a situation you cannot vote yourself out of.
Like, for example, the way the system is currently setup gives much more representation (and therefore power) to smaller states. To change that, we would need to amend the constitution which would require a super majority. When have institutions willingly voted to give up their unearned power?
Whether people think it’s necessary or not is irrelevant.
Fascism is an open expression of political violence. It needs violence, it creates violence, it supports violence, it thrives on violence.
Political violence is already here. It just may not have reached you yet.
The question is how you respond.
Smart violent or stupid violent? Read your ass some (military) theory!
Sadly, I have to agree with this. It does not necessarily follow that the response must be violent, but we need to be honest about what’s happening. Trump is already using violence against us, it’s just a matter of who has and hasn’t been affected by it yet.
Also, when people talk about opposing political violence, in reality they’re mostly opposing political violence spreading to the elites responsible.
Notice there was no mainstream discussion of political violence until an elite who encouraged violence got shot.

Right, because protest voting against Harris has made everything better.
Stupid dumbfucks invited the Nazis to take unilateral power and still don’t get it through their lead brains.

We need a general strike. The country would be brought to its knees if deprived of profit and labor. That tactic was extremely effective in Chile in 2019, and had they not fallen for the trick of liberal reform, they would’ve had a successful revolution on their hands with virtually no bloodshed.
If you aren’t in a union (or even if you are, it’s worth dual-carding), please consider joining the IWW to unionize your workplace (bonus: you’ll get higher wages, better benefits, and more time off if you succeed!) to strengthen a general strike if we finally manage to enact one.
The UAW is planning one for May 1st 2028, but it could happen sooner.
And for our international friends, you should join one as well, as fascism is gaining momentum globally. If your country isn’t listed below, just contact the IWW directly in the link above.
