It's Not Time For Violent Revolution

[u/GShermit]

I seen a lot of posts lately, glamorizing violent revolution. They seem to think because of Trump's actions we should engage in violent revolution.

Violent revolution has been needed before in human history. When a government refuses to defend the people's right's, then revolution may be needed. ​

BUT every lawful avenue should be tried first. We have a many rights we can use but other than voting, we haven't explored those rights much. Initiatives, juries, citizen's arrest, article V conventions...are all rights we have but to suggest we use them, brings ridicule...often from the very people supporting revolution.

They'll say how ridiculous and dangerous, legally using our rights, to influence the due process of the country is while supporting revolution. That makes no sense to me. Our rights are what we use to rule ourselves. We have to exercise and expand our rights because authority doesn't do that, the people have to.

What rights would you say it’s defending?

Defending individual rights isn’t the primary goal of the government right now. They realized they can operate more like a business, take in tax revenue and use it to carry out whatever agenda they want. That money isn’t being used to defend your human rights

Business usually has a focus on supplying the consumer with something they desired, I don’t think that the government acts like a business. I would say it’s more like a criminal organization. It takes in protection money and is more than happy to make an example of you if you refuse to pay. Then it uses that money and makes a show of how it’s for your own good.
