What are the limits to peaceful protest
if they refuse to listen?
If they label you violent
before you even begin?
If violence is all that's left
(defending yourself against the violence used on you)
what good is it if the establishment always has more power?
If neither of these tactics are effective, what can people do?
No matter what we do.
No matter what we ask for.
No matter how we ask for it.
It feels like the people will be dominated.

Lose/Lose
No winning
Unfair fight
One might say we need to go through the system:
- Put incorruptible people in office
- Pass laws
- Vote
But when our votes don't count
and our people are corrupted, manipulated, threatened, blocked, stalled and silenced
and the process takes so goddamn long
the people who wanted change are gone before they see the day...
Then what? What then?
You'd think they set it up like this on purpose and all we can do is be pissed
just take it
until we're dead.
