So when you say that kind and peaceful responses to oppression are the ONLY acceptable responses- what do you expect people to do in the face of tear gas and pepper spray? In the face of beatings and murders? Lie down and suffer and die quietly? Speak kindly and sweetly in response to racial slurs and ignorance? Is your comfort level really the important thing here? I am tired of assholes who think that playing Devil’s advocate about an issue alien to their experience but of deep personal significance to their interlocutor makes them both intellectually superior and more rationally objective on the specious basis that being dispassionate is the same as being right (because if they can stay calm while savagely kicking your open wound, then clearly, you have no excuse for screaming).” -Foz Meadows
