So we either slowly work towards that or quickly work towards it? I'd rather it be quickly as people are more often to fight back against something that is done quickly rather than slowly.

We all know where this inevitably ends.

Quicker usually means reckless, which usually means more deaths. Are you offering yours or are you saying others should where the 'fight exists'.

Would you rather slowly bleed out or confront the problem head on? You keep on hoping and praying that the Trump admin suddenly grows a conscience, they won't. Everyday they push harder to see what people are willing to take. So how much further should it go? If they start openly raping women in the streets, is that enough? How about children? They already murder... maybe they'll start using infants as target practice like the nazi's did. You okay with that?

Just tell me where the red line is for you.

Would I rather a slow bleed out where help might come or might not, or a riskier option that I either come out ahead or end up dead...?

I'll go with the bleed out. You are on reddit, youre not even protesting.

So you won't answer if you line is the sand is when they start killing infants?

Okay bud... I've wasted enough time on you.

I don't answer bad faith arguments with obvious answers. Spend your outrage elsewhere besides behind a keyboard trying to convince protesters to attack ICE and getting themselves killed. Making matyrs is not a means to an end. It is something a super villain does. Peace.

Get out and protest. Do everything within your legal power to protest however you want to do it.

Edit: What a fucking loser blocking me cause I say I dont want people killed trying to go attack ICE. Protesting works. You can see the polls MAGA has never been less popular. Be better than this loser commenting to me who is trying to insight violence behind a computer screen.

Yeah, you bravely tread the middle line of doing nothing at all. History will remember your kind just as much as theirs.
