    At this point, I can only imagine it’s out of spite. The regime wants violence, and we are certainly capable of it. But denying them the response they are begging for seems to really blue ball them.

    We’re going to die probably. But on our terms, not theirs.

      There is something to this, though. If people start behaving violently, the administration will label them as some kind of radicalized terrorist and respond with military force, and then probably blame black or indigenous or immigrant or trans/nb people as the reason for the radicalization and come down even harder on these marginalized populations

        They are going to do that anyways. Watch the polls this November. They will incite violence, then order people to disperse, denying them their right to vote.
