Whoever thinks violence never solves fluff must have forgoten the USA gained independence through violence. The nazi's were eradicated through violence. The Japanese agrees sion was stopped by violence. The list goes on.
To you fluffs sitting fat and happy in the western world, flicking your bean, and coming up with half-baked ideas of how to disarm your fellow citizens .... did you ever think that the Islamic extremists are training to kill you at this very moment (they are).
The US gained its independence from England through violence. But what tyranny did our founding fathers oppose? Oppressive taxation? It's much worse now. Lack of rights for American Indians or Blacks? Took about two hundred years for those to come, and they are still limited. Freedom from an imperialist government? We replaced it with a government that is even more imperialist.
Rich white men had more freedom under the early USA than they did under England's rule. But women, blacks, American Indians, and more did not have more freedom. Why did they not have more freedom? The "freedom fighters" used violence, yet they did not bring freedom to a majority of the people living on this continent. On the contrary, they brought more oppression to the people living on this continent.
The Nazis were stopped by violence. But what has kept those who opposed the nazis from turning violent? Was it violence? Or was it political power? Why did Greece end up with a military dictatorship? Why did Francisco Franco have power? Why did Stalin have power? Violence stopped the nazis, but it is not violence that caused those who opposed the nazis to be better (in some cases). Why did war hero Alan Turing basically get killed by his own government? Why did the Soviets imprison soldiers returning from the war? Why did the Chinese get liberated from the Japanese who committed the Rape of Nanking, only to get a regime run by Mao instead?
Look at what the United States has brought upon the world. We gifted Greece with a military dictatorship in 1967. We gifted Brazil with one in 1964. We gifted Guatemala with one in 1954. We just toppled a democratically elected government in Ukraine last year and replaced it with an unelected government of fascist terrorists. We're supporting Enrique Pena Nieto of Mexico right now, despite his affiliation with drug cartels. We put a horrible puppet government of al-Maliki in place in Iraq and caused Iraq to enter into a civil war. We're continually funding the Egyptian military with hundreds of millions of dollars of aid every year.
You think that violence brings freedom? You don't know history. Violence brings oppression. The United States military brings oppression and injustice. You think the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was bad? Try learning what the US did to the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands. You think the Japanese attack on the Philippines was bad? Try learning about the US-Philippine war.
Just because the oppressors tell you that they bring peace and justice doesn't mean you have to swallow their lies. The oppressors bring oppression. Violence cannot make us free. Only political power can make us free. Only the doers of non-violence can bring us freedom. Freedom can never comes from the pawns that commit violence. The US military is the enemy of freedom. It is only when political power controls the military and the police that we can be free. We are free despite the police and military, not because of them. We are free because of the media that tells us the truth. That's why our freedoms are disappearing, because people like you are swallowing lies from the media. You are the enemy of freedom.
