1. Great power in non-violence

When the oppressors have the upperhand in the violence department and all you have is the Truth, then violence is useless.

Given that the whole capitalist establishment subsists on the threat of violence and looting, it is no surprise some of the younger folk take matters into their own hands and begin acting like little george bushes.

The PTB have nuclear weapons. They fooly support using the nuclear weapons as a threat against anyone attempting to join their club. The threat of violence is part and parcel of 'How things really are'.

It is to our shame that we educate our children to emulate the PTB.
