In a democracy you need your conviction to reach the masses. But it seems the masses clearly chose the side that is gonna make most people with low income more miserable, that will cut down benefits and any social safety still left and support the cooperations. I kid you not, the masses have chosen this.
Peaceful movements have solved quite a lot actually. Martin Luther King Jr. would have never shown the hypocrisy of the segregation they lived in then if he could possibly be branded as violent and destructive. Which force was fighting for the right cause and held their moral high grounds was undisputed. It was a long and hard fight but they won.
I think the actual coward is the one who shoots another man in the back, who is a cog of the system in the back and pretends he is the one self-righteous who gets to decide justice. We are no animals, and while we need to preserve our future and the kids we also need to preserve civility and the rule of law. If the will of the masses is strong enough the political parties will buckle to the demands. This is a democracy, no dictatorship.
Violence is sometimes needed to counter violence, but this act of violence changes nothing. Violence is needed when a dictatorship suppresses the freedom and dreams of the public and tortures people. Violence is needed when when a different country attacks and tries to invade your country against the will of the people and causes mass destruction and death. Diplomacy takes time but an open approach always needs to be there to resolve violent conflict in the end. Wars usually end in a peace conference. The US is a democracy and the world has plenty of examples where the healthcare system works for everyone and people with low income aren’t left out. How does chaos in a democracy solve anything when reform is an option? Go protest, participate as an activist, talk with others about the issue, spread awareness and vote accordingly. Talk to your representative.
My point is in a democracy change is hard but it can come from a grassroots movement, without causing more harm, more death and more suffering.
