~*the parents are breaking laws that democrats put in place and we cannot hold children with them*~

This doesn't hold much sway because violent resistance has had just as much if not more historical significance all over the world. Even in India itself.
For telling us the world isn't black and white, this is pretty black and white.
But don't you see! By posting on a random internet forum that I want to punch Trump in the face I'm the exact same as the ICE officers who lie and steal kids from their parents! /s
It's like Ghandi is some secret word that turns the evil off lmaooo. I cannot tell if naiveté or if we're getting trolled
im sorry in india? What the failed 1857 rebellion? prior to british colonization when we were princely states? Bose who tried as ive repeatedly pointed out tried to ally with nazis? Pray do tell me how any violent movement in india is as significant as gandis non violent movement?
I don't care if you're Mexican, honestly. You don't have empathy for another subsection of human beings, judging by your prioritizing of tone policing in a thread about growing tolerated dehumanization in modern society.
were not animals were humans. when we stoop to animal levels then the analogy is valid. I will admit trump admin is getting close but its not nazis yet.
Im indian . And you obviously are here just to insult me because i disagree with something you feel strongly about without reading what Im writing. Extremes are wrong dude. Read, discuss talk. Ive said many times (read my post history that this is a horrible/messed up whats going on) but I also dont feel ppl should be saying the things they are on this forum .
This is actually the same mindset we saw in this thread:
Sorry to break the news bud, humans are in fact still animals.
Ahh yes, just appease until it gets shitty enough that we have to do something about. Classic idea. Works every time.
Yes. Even failed movements have lasting influence. Honestly, have you ever studied history? It's not simply winners and losers. Everything has an effect:

at least get the spelling right if you're trying to make a point . And no its not. Its the ideas he built of you can tell someone to fuck off without having to fight. The idea you say no and you take any killings on your side and then they realize hey what are we doing. Its a deep idea. Its not a magic person . But it is a fucking magic idea thats why mandella and mlk liked it.
No one is saying that peaceful protest is wrong or misguided. But to say it's the only way? That just by thinking of doing violence against the oppressor we're the same as them? Nah. All three (Gandhi, Mandela and MLK) knew the limits and power of both violence and non-violence. So please stop trotting them out to prop up your surface level understanding of their history.
You serious? You know who I was trying to make a point about, fuck off. But sure. I'll make sure to spell Gandhi correctly from now on. Also, hit that apostrophe button fam. You gotta know when to use the possessive form. It was real tough trying to parse this and see what point you were making.
I have not I remember your sensible reply to me in a previous thread .
Just because we dont see something doesnt mean its not real. Judgement day for everyone is inevitable thats what i believe anyway. Trump and the all the scum of this world will get what they deserve.
If you believe in that, fair enough, but just to be on the safe side I think we should make sure these fucks get what they deserve in this world, that we can all be (comparatively) sure exists. If there is a god or whatever that wants to give 'em a little extra after that, that's fine too, but we shouldn't rely on that.
I get your point. But real justice for the powerfull and wealthy people rearly happens and they are the most guilty of crime and injustice on this planet. So there must be something els. I refuse to believe that they will get away with all the shit they cause to the rest of humanity.
And we sure as hell shoundnt rely on our justice system for people like Trump.
No, you're absolutely right. There is no such thing as equality before the law, but that's just another one of those tragically tangible things that we all have to try and deal with, somehow. If the system is flawed (it is) we need to change it. The cards are stacked against us, and there's nothing any single individual can do, but if many enough of us get together we just might stand a chance.
