No. “Protests” should be nonviolent.
Violence comes when all else has failed. It comes when there is no other reasonable choice. It comes when a free People have been forced to be to become slaves, when their country and way of life and treasure has been plucked from their callused hands.
Violence comes when you back a man into a corner and he sees no other way to survive.
Violence comes to you, if you don’t stand up to it’s threat.
Violence comes, it always has and always will.
But “protests”, no. Of course, protests can become the precursor to violence.
I feel the wind of a perfect storm.......
Interesting article I stumbled across while checking stuff on slavery (as you mentioned.)
Historically, the definition of a free person is a person who owns his own labor. Serfs were not free, because they owed their feudal lords, the government of that time, a maximum of one-third of their labor. Nineteenth century slaves were not free, because their owners could expropriate 50% of their labor.
Today, no American is a free person. The lowest tax rate, not counting state income, property tax and sales tax, is 15% Social Security tax and 15% federal income tax. The "free American" starts off with a 30% tax rate, the position of a medieval serf.
In medieval Europe, when tax rates reached beyond 30%, serfs rebelled and killed their masters.
