Simultaneously, while I don’t believe US citizens stand a single chance in hell against the full US military and law enforcement, I also don’t really believe his regime and supporters are capable of quelling a real uprising so I’m not really an advocate for or against it unless elections actually aren’t held.

I also see this from the perspective that other nation’s electoral systems are in much worse shape than the US currently.

This comment simultaneously supports Chinese arming US Insurrectionists and also implies that US arming of insurrectionists was positive, which is a rare mix of violent imperial rhetoric aligned with both sides.

No sharks are known dangers to humans unless provoked or involved in an extremely rare accident.

I am equally likely to fight 1 bee and 1 million bees.

Not at all, why would you fuck with a bee?

Yeah but not unprompted. The only people who regularly bring these up seem to be middle age assistant professors lecturing on civic planning, Tankies, and direct opposition to Tankies.

Are the people shitting on these in the room with us, now?

Did it suddenly trend on shorts and terkjerk or does this post have a minimum age requirement?

So in an emergency it can be air cooled, assuming they set up an intake for that.

Honestly, I’m not a nuclear physicist by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m not sure how they plan to emergency cool the reactor to prevent a meltdown if it’s filled with molten salt. Anything colder than molten salt going into the reactor would cause it to be clogged up by not-molten salt.

At least the THTR seemed to have cooling capabilities as the foremost priority.

It’s like a hammer. It can be used to build something great. Or it can bludgeon.

I don’t have time to read replies like this.

I suppose that’s a fair criticism, but you would be hard pressed to find any human activity which has always been completely 100% devoid of violence so it rather strongly implied that the [successful aspects of] the movements were devoid of riots or threats of violence.

I recieved historically innacurate replies and my response was to cite historical evidence and outcomes to set the record straight.

Problem is people can bullshit faster than I can tell the truth.

The LGBTQ movements go as far back as 1924 in the USA, and Illinois was the first state to legalize homosexuality in 1962.

Stonewall Riots was in 1969.

One could even argue that the real turning point for gay rights was: A) APA removal of Homosexuality from list of mental illnesses in 1973 and B) Reagan gutting federal funded and operated mental asylums which for completely unrelated reasons I think was a bad idea.

The first legalized Gay Marriage law was passed in Massachusetts in 2004 but still is not recognized federally until 2015.

So stonewall accomplished fuck all, congrats

I was referring more to the women’s sufferage movement in the USA, led by people such as Susan B. Anthony, when I made my comment.

The UK Suffragettes only turned to violence in 1912 after a decade of more peaceful tactics, the organization itself only forming after almost 40 years of unsuccessful campaigning from 1867 to 1903. As a result of the window shattering and firebombing campaigns many were imprisoned and started a hunger strike in which several died, leading the House of Lords to pass the Cat and Mouse Act of 1913 which sent them home to die there after they sufficiently starved themselves to help absolve the government of wrongdoing. The suffragettes didn’t see any results until 1918 when women over 30 and men over 21 were allowed to vote. Equality was only obtained in 1928.

Good on them for sticking it out to the end but the militant portion of their campaign was short lived and impotent.

I hope so but I think it’s still too early to say history views it negatively. In at least a few years time I’m sure we’ll look back and agree that it was bad, but it’s a current political issue as of now.

Yeah but low hanging fruit, half of Americans don’t even seem to believe it happened and some think it was justified.

Tankies are just another flavor of BootLickers who bend over bare ass for Authorities.

I can name several historic US riots which were not justified.

The Tulsa Massacre of 1921.

The series of riots occurring after the removal of confederate statues in the last decade.

When men marched with torches and firearms after the inauguration of Barack Obama.

During the BLM movement a white couple was charged with Arson of a restaurant as they were trying to delegitimize peaceful protests.

Meanwhile the most successful social movements were not accomplished with violence at all. Women suffrage, equal rights for protected classes, gay marriage, etc. Some movements had a mixture of peace and violence, such as rights to unionize, but far more effective than riots were the affected workers like miners and industrial manufacturers striking.
