I suppose we disagree on organized violence being a necessity. Spreading fear is also something I don’t advocate for. I advocate for spreading courage or fearlessness, helping others to realize their power and to stand in it. Getting people scared and moving them towards violence will not create anything besides martyrs and a cycle of hatred on all sides.
20th century ideas on revolution are simply outdated. The times are different.
We have eliminated language barriers, we are vastly interconnected, and we have the means to organize digitally. We can get the facts easily and cut through propaganda. We can spread awareness and build consciousness without really taking any of the steps we once had to. We have AI technologies that we can leverage, as well.
I feel that encouraging scared innocents to threaten violence and potentially kill other scared and confused people to achieve a violent takeover of public institutions isn’t going to turn out the way you hope.
I respect your resolute spirit, your fight, your passion, but I feel there are significant levers we can pull that won’t unleash a cycle of violence, chaos, and uncertainty. I’m not suggesting inaction or apathy or action that effectively amounts to inaction.
I would more quickly see the merits of your viewpoint if you could guarantee that such a cycle wouldn’t be created or would be limited in scope — I may be naive, but I am not so naive to believe you without some pretty weighty reasoning.
