“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”

— Albert Einstein

60 years of peaceful protests have led nowhere. Pigs killing unarmed people (mostly of color) every day and never held accountable. So just stay peaceful, right?

Burning stuff down has been done in the middle ages.
Did not work either.

The real cause of the problems are the bankers, the mainstream media, the military, the FBI and CIA, the corrupt political system. Contact people that understand what these problems are and help them to fight these real problems.

The ONLY things that got the attention of the plutocracy were the guillotines. Nothing less will have any effect.

No. The elite used it themselves to get rid of the competition.
Public executions have always been used as a way to influence and hypnotize the masses. Like the execution of Christians in roman time, the execution of gays in Saudi Arabia, the execution of jews in Nazi germaniy, etc.

You may like the principles of anarchy, where everyone is equal and has means to defend themselves.

If you want effective protests, you need to stop the power and control and profits of the ruling class - without violence or destruction.

Take back the means of production and instead of working for a single boss or some executive board, work for your collective selves in a democratic worker directed enterprise, aka worker cooperative, or coop. Bring democracy, fairness, and accountability to the workplace.
