How would you suggest making improvements without using violence?

There are no shortages of solutions and alternative solutions out there. Some are even effective and long lasting. But power concedes absolutely nothing without a demand or fight, and they have the monopoly on "legitimate" violence.

Your question can take 2 forms - 1) pre-corona lock step lock down, and 2) post-corona lock step lock down. In both cases the masses need to wake up to their rigged systems, organizing, and rejecting the corrupt authority. Prior to this "new normal" I would have suggested things like many more 3rd parties, ranked choice voting, decentralizing all things, etc. (See also this conversation with my pipe dream list.) Since they've manufactured this crisis, all bets are off. They've already passed new draconian laws, and are intentionally forcing people to become desperate and to be sure the violence will come, without doubt, sooner or later. Taking away peoples homes, means of employment, and food supply IS A FORM OF VIOLENCE.

The corrupt state has already thrown the first knockout punch in this round, and their propaganda keeps most folks asleep. This is fifth generation warfare between the ruling class and the 99%. We've been in a class war since time began and most don't even realize it.

It's time to /s/pushback. Nonviolence is preferred and cannot be sullied, unlike use of force, excessive or not, always shows they are in the wrong.

I guess you never really played /s/Monopoly or even /s/Risk.

As a child. I don't see your point. Monopolies are developed through rigged systems, corruption, deception, and violence.

Also, those subs don't exist (yet?).
