  • This is my personal opinion, but I believe peaceful protest does mean something. It’s shown me (and hopefully others) that largely people are good and strive to be good people. Society is incredibly patient. Probably too patient.

    However, it also shows that at some point peacefully protesting might get met with violence by the state, which in turn shifts public opinion towards acceptable levels of counter violence to protect their communities and loved ones. ICE abducting people is just the beginning, but public opinion is slowly shifting. Eventually, if the government continues to overstep, people will be much more likely to do something.

    The fact that the snap benefits are not being accommodated during this shutdown is awful, but i think it’s also the best worst situation as hungry people will get even more angry towards a corrupt government.
