<p>excelblue is merely making the point that violence begets violence.</p>
<p>If one brutally suppresses peaceful protesters and even bystanders, one cannot complain if they decide to retaliate in kind. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. As you sow so shall you reap. Etc and so forth.</p>
<p>Whether violence will help solve this problem is an entirely different question, however.</p>
<p>You may want to learn someday that stringing a bunch of quotes together does not make an argument.
Also, who’s complaining? I’m here to have fun talking about why you guys are noobs. Looks like you cut and run from the last time we posted in the same topic.</p>
<p>As for your ideas on revolution (seriously, do you think you’re some sort of political genius because you read wikipedia for like 5 minutes?), if you don’t look out for number 1, you’ll get what’s coming to you, delusions of grandeur or not.</p>
<p>Excelblue made several claims about right and wrong. I wouldn’t say he/she was simply explaining a situation.</p>
<p>The forces of reaction are flaming up. This is a sign that the class struggle is intensifying, and that our final victory approaches.</p>
<p>Sometimes I lay awake at night, wondering, “how the heck did some of these people get into Berkeley…”</p>
<p>That is actually a pretty sad thing to do. ;)</p>
