If necessary, kill the president.

I’m sorry, but this is just unacceptable. I totally understand people wanting a revolution and I agree things are pretty fucked up, but to target a figurehead like that is just taking it too far. not to mention you shouldn’t use senseless violence to get your message across. It’s radical crap like this that makes me question my support for civil movements

Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was killed, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown. You’re saying killing tyrants is an act of “senseless violence”? This folks, is why I am not an ineffective liberal pacifist.

If the president is a crazy authoritarian dictator that’s ruining the country, yes it’s necessary to remove him from power (whatever way possible) in order to change things. I believe the world is better off without those people and I’m not disagreeing with what happened. I’m just saying something like this can be scary and unnecessary depending on the situation. It’s important to know what the root of the problem is, and if it’s not the president himself, this would lessen the integrity of the movement.

Well, if it’s not the president itself, it is the state and the capitalist class that is perpetuating the oppression, and they should be opposed. The people are oppressed to the extent that they learn to accept their oppression as a given, we should be promoting, not discouraging opposition to oppression, in any form that is necessary in the strategy of the resistance movement’s goals.

couldn’t have said it better myself

Weren’t we taught not to hurt each other?

In elementary or pre-school, my peers and I were reprimanded for hurting one another. The teachers would tell us off, send us to some sort of punishment, or even home to the big boss if things got really nasty. But that was only the start, our peers would look at us differently, talking in hushed tones about how dangerous ‘that kid’ is. There was no positive aspect of violence outside of the invisible shootouts that we mimed in the school yard.

So, when I see adults like the Oakland PD shooting canisters of pressurized gas into crowds of unarmed people, young and old, I can’t imagine why we think that it’s OK.

Why can a person slap on a badge and then hurt you ford doing virtually nothing? If you fight back you are in the wrong, even if they are going to beat you within an inch of your life. “They’re just doing their jobs.” If you think that the police exist to protect you, you’ve got the wool pulled over your eyes. The police force exists to protect the powerful, not you and me.

People hurting people. Really, that’s all you’re doing. Lay down the badges and stand with us on the right side of history.
