  • It would at least help the completely ignorant from simply going with the flow, though many would argue someone so detached from the concept of freedoms hardly deserves them. Like Thomas Jefferson, “When you abandon freedom to achieve security, you lose both and deserve neither.”

    Contrast that with, “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.” and it should become VERY obvious he and many other defenders of freedom throughout history were very OK with punching Nazis, even if they lived before Nazis were a thing.


  • Are protests the only way people communicate? That has some serious, “don’t take my statue, how would I know history!?” false logic energy there.

    Protests are an expression just like a riot. Riots are outright damaging while protests make people feel better. What they specifically do not do is solve any problem that cannot be solved in much better ways.

    Making people feel better without actually doing anything to slow down bad people… is not a positive gain from a situation. If anything, people who feel better about a situation are less inclined to DO something about it.
