I don't read it that way
So why is he calling for non violence at non violent protests?
To remind people to not be violent when they protest.
And because the government is trying to provoke them into violence. It's the hardest thing in the world to resist the urge to respond in kind.
Is he saying they are currently not violent?
He's not saying anything about the current situation, he is just reminding people to pursue a non-violent strategy in the face of violent oppression.
YOU have a bias that you want to confirm, and nobody is going along with your propaganda.
Is he saying they currently are violent?
You're so happy to imply one side but not imply the other. That's a you problem.
Why would the other side need to be implied?
You should not swear at people. It does not help in discussions.
"we need to succeed" does not imply previous failure or success. You're assuming it implies failure. That's a choice of translation that you're making and I disagree with it.
It does when the current argument of the other side is that the protests. Bernie is not saying that there is no violencde but we should look out for it. He is explicitly denouncing violence playing right into the accusations.
I understand that you're concerned about the optics. But the people who think there's violence wont listen to Bernie anyway. That was a message for us.
The average Benie fan these days is the generic Liberal.
What in the actual fuck are you talking about?
Go away.
Where is the swearing?
I didn't say he was swearing, why would you think that?
I simply advised him and said that swearing is not good in conversations because it does not help his cause.
I think because there are calls for violent resistance too and even if it is non violent now he is reminding people to keep their chill in the future when things can get more heated
