Any average Canadian has the same ability to take direct action and dictate their will over the US government as any US citizen… Virtually none.
This is because The US government has achieved nearly a total monopoly on violence. It’s also the same reason you aren’t out in Canada killing cops over the states treatment of your indigenous population. What, do you support the genocidal actions of the Canadian government…why aren’t you out there doing something about it?
Do you see how immature and naive that sounds?
Now, I’m not saying that violence never solves anything, just that it requires a level of political organization that does not currently exist to do any good. If there were an actual leftist organizations doing violent direct action right now they would just be used as a tool to validate an even more extreme response from the state.
Every Malcolm X needs an MLK to juxtapose the options for change to conservatives. As of now we don’t even have anyone close to MLK, mostly because the DNC are filled with center right stooges. Hopefully that changes soon, just recently there’s been a few actually left leaning politicians getting elected. So yes, people are working on the problem. Your hypocritical hysterics are not helping anyone, it just makes you feel less like a citizen of a country that is collaborating with the empire.
A big reason we don’t have a new MLK is because after MLK we functionally made it illegal to do what he did.
Not explicitly mind you. We just created red tape, new laws and regulations. Around what he did. So your free to do it, just expect you know your not free to do it in anyway that he did, or like he did, or adjacent to what he did. Etc and etc.
Well, a lot of what MLK did wasn’t really legal either. The big difference is that MLK had important allies in Congress and in the Senate that would go out of their way to aid and protect him. You really do need support in powerful places to rally against the state, even in non violent ways.
Having representatives that can shield your revolutionary actions is important even if you’ve given up on an electoral solution.
Hypocrisy must be a hobby of yours considering you’re too lazy to read. You know what is worse than being in the evil empire? Being a happy pet state of the empire and somehow thinking you’re any better.
You’re literally not helping it happen right now. Get the fuck off the sofa.

But you totally can do it!
Public rallying is extremely controlled now.

I can’t tell you how disinterested I am in reading another screed from a lazy, defensive, cowardly American. I’m sure someone will read that though 👍

Standard MAGA-level ad hominem. America, everyone 👍
Another display of hypocrisy. Your entire argument is based on ad hominems you twat.
