I did a survey too. It's just this survey but replace the word "unacceptable" with "most effective"

Boycotting products....

I wonder what happened when Palestinians marched for long distances?

Also it's telling that the language is measured in terms of acceptability. It's so vague and doesn't tell anything about what should be done for the unacceptable actions.

I'd be curious in a grim sort of way how this survey would turn out if the respondents were asked what level of force is a legitimate response for such actions.

They wouldn't, because putting these sorts of questions in material terms would reveal more than they'd like. I want them to say outright if they think state murder is an acceptable response to any of these forms of protest.

Well well well, looks like Americans are a bunch of authoritarians

"Marginalized people fighting back against the violence of their oppressors is pearl clutchingly unacceptable"

"State sanctioned violence by the oppressor is cool and good because it's legal and doesn't disrupt anything or make me uncomfortable. Support our troops and maintain the police state!"

Twisted ass people that don't know their own history

Get creative.

Do the things that are viewed as acceptable to such a degree that the regime is forced to respond with force. Then do the violence in self defence, have a team prepared for it in advance as well. The Chilean Primera Línea method.

If anyone tries to give you shit about "reasonable forms of protest", look how literally the same percentage approve of either defacing property ot rioting, and scarcely any more approve of blocking traffic.

These fuckers are to the right of actual Enightenment figures in American history.

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry you know this poll is BS because I do not believe only like 7% of people thinking rioting is ok.

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

7% of the US working population is like 10 million people.

[–] boiledfrog@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

Considering they questioned USA adults, the redder the results it is the better the effect.

Also, I'm surprised "refusing to pay taxes" isn't super popular lmao

Some mfs think that even creating a petition is always unacceptable.

Sorted in order of getting shit done.

Why isn't assassination of public officials on the last?

[–] edge@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

Defacing property as the second worst and "rioting" (i.e. breaking and stealing shit, in their minds) as the worst really show how cucked we are to capital.

The worst possible thing they can imagine is gasp property damage.

Carbrain as number three makes sense too.

This is beyond cuckholdry. At least cucks have a marriage. This is just complete submission to the dominant civil religion of the United States.

Exactly how cool or uncool is the protest? That's literally all that matters. The cooler the protest the more is permissible.

Same objection as the "authoritarian axis" on political compasses. Are you using your authority to be cool or uncool? Where's that axis?

Creating a petition only has 87% support what the fuck? People writing their names on a piece of paper?

You're on to something. The dipshit boomers that blockaded hospitals because Golden Corral had social distancing and masking requirements had very uncool protests. grill-broke
