    Far from it. Our nonviolent resistance retains the moral high ground and embarrasses them. Especially as they try to provoke us to violence.

      The moral high ground? People are fucking being murdered in cold blood by fascists and you care more about how people perceive you?

            Oh? How so? Winning the battle of public perception is key to a popular revolution.

            What do you offer instead? Giving the fascist state a cassis belli to ramp up more violence?

            Who wins in that case?

              Oh? How so? Winning the battle of public perception is key to a popular revolution.

              And continually rolling over with no pushback is demoralizing to the supporters needed for a popular revolution.

              It’s a balancing act, and trying to play only one side will absolutely fuck the movement.
