[an orange character is driving a bulldozer, facing a house]
I am going to bulldoze your house

[a yellow character is shocked]

[yellow asks politely, hands clasped]
Could you please not do that?

[orange, pushing the bulldozer’s controls, answers]
NO!

[yellow walks away from their house, looking dismayed]
Well, I guess I tried to do everything I could
Too bad

[orange smiles smugly as they bulldoze yellow’s house]

    Are organizing, collective action, protests and strikes violent?

      Collective action is inherently confrontational because there is always someone who disagrees with the collective’s view, but collective action alone is not inherently violent.

      Nope. Those are all non-violent actions against fascism. But we’re starting to worry that non-violent peaceful actions have been ineffective, and beginning to wish for civil violence because bloodshed would be guaranteed to get rid of the 1% of people who are making life miserable for 99% of the population.
