RE: Exploring the boundaries and ethical obligations of protesting within a democratic society.

in Stars11 months ago

What a debacle of a authoritarian statist dragon of a post .
Glorifying the unthinking majority and there power to vote for a government to have the monopoly on violence over all . Where i think there is confusion going on between protest an riot's . Deliberate confusion , for a government will secretly start the riot when the people protest peacefully . For who brings the weapons to the field ? The peaceful protester or the riot-cop .

we should accept the opinions of others, even if they are wrong.

I will never accept wrong opinions of others , simply for being wrong .
I will do allow you to voice your wrong opinion , and i will even fight for that right of yours to speak out your wrong opinions .
That is how FREE-SPEECH works .

In a democracy, protesting in public sends a message of moral anger, a violent act.

How do peaceful protesters send a moral anger message and act violent ?

Your so confused with rioting , like i protest , in the form of this comment .

Now where was i in moral anger or acting violent ?

So many more things in this post i could tear apart and connect to the globalist authoritarian dystopian agenda , so i might be back for that . For now ill leave you with a poem by Charles Bukowski .

“Look,” he told me,
“all those little children dying in the trees.”
And I said, “What?”
He said, “look.”
And I went to the window and sure enough, there they were hanging in the trees,
dead and dying.
And I said, “What does it mean?”
He said, “I don’t know it’s authorized.”

The next day I got up and they had dogs in the trees,
hanging, dead, and dying.
I turned to my friend and I said, “What does it mean?”
And he said,
“Don’t worry about it, it’s the way of things. They took a vote. It was decided.”

The next day it was cats.
I don’t see how they caught all those cats so fast and hung them in the trees, but they did.
The next day it was horses,
and that wasn’t so good because many bad branches broke.

And after bacon and eggs the next day,
my friend pulled his pistol on me across the coffee
and said,
“Let’s go,”
and we went outside.
And here were all these men and women in the trees,
most of them dead or dying.
And he got the rope ready and I said,
“What does it mean?”
And he said, “It’s authorized, constitutional, it passed the majority,”
And he tied my hands behind my back then opened the noose.
“I don’t know who’s going to hang me,” he said,
“When I get done with you.
I suppose when it finally works down
there will be just one left and he’ll have to hang himself.”
“Suppose he doesn’t,” I ask.
“He has to,” he said,
“It’s authorized.”
“Oh,” I said, “Well,
let’s get on with it.”
