No one today seriously believes in anything but themselves.
Still, my argument holds. Gandhi brought about major social and political change in India through peaceful protest, thus disproving Hiiri's blanket statement that peaceful protest does not work.I wouldn't say that, especially considering the contexts, and the aim of the different protests.And the Jallianwala Bagh massacre doesn't sound like such an abuse?I just don't like Gandhi. Dude was racist as hell and possibly (though I admit not definitely) a pedophile. He also went off the deep end on pacifism and told the British they should surrender to the Nazis rather than fight them. There are some situations in which violence is the answer.
MLK's worst action was adultery, by comparison.
You won't stop the abuses, and in fact you will incite more.
I could go protest, but all that will accomplish is media harassment and everyone ignoring me, until I get enough people behind me (those crazy squatters in Central Park come to mind) and even then all you get is ridicule. Why try?
You know why Occupy Wall Street was a joke? There was no threat of violence. You're not going to make a person stop pissing on you by chanting: "Peaceful protest! Peaceful protest!"
Well, thanks again guys, except you Svarte.The point that Svarte was making was that Screamo ≠ Heavy Metal
