    It takes money to fight money the legal way. Unless you can somehow crowdsource enough from a class that’s mostly living paycheck to paycheck the only real alternative to meaningful change is through violence.

      No. We can become organized. We have a right to assemble, we have a right to free speech, we have a right to bear arms, etc., of course the institutions that hold executive power will try and suppress those rights, but since you mentioned legality, we have the legal right to organize ourselves against oppression. The violence historically comes from the people who hold power, not the people who demand justice.

      Yup, and eventually that’s where this is heading I think.
