Ah yes, violent revolution, where the lower class gets killed en masse (a "noble sacrifice") and autocracy takes even greater hold as a result. The wheels of the revolution larpers are always greased with the blood of the downtrodden.

I didn't advocate violence once. I did advocate democracy. I did advocate solidarity. I did advocate protest.

Revolution is not always violent and in fact is often not violent. Your reading of my comment as advocating violence is just your own projection.

There is no way to switch off oil dependency right now without many people dying as a consequence. Climate change protest encouraging regulatory and subsidy movements towards renewables doesn’t sound like revolution and tearing down anything.
