Property damage isn't violence. And it's become wild that people equate it as such.
Peaceful protests can include property damage. I think it's entirely valid to obstruct, damage, and impede.
The only people using violence, the ONLY PEOPLE, have been ICE and the police. The only people not being peaceful have been ICE and the police.
At this point, the administration is treating words as violence.
Sure, but "non violent" is not the same as "peaceful".
The issue is that property damage usually just fucks over the community long term. Cool, you ransacked some corpo shit. Now who's going to be willing to move into that space?
And it never stops at just damage to government and corpo-shit. Go ahead and fuck up your local spaces, but don't be surprised if things don't magically build back better when people don't want to live in places where this sort of shit goes down.
Paraphrasing Kimberly Jones of BLM, they're not 'your' local spaces to begin with.
Respect for property starts with equity.
(Note: I do not endorse the censoring in the video, but I couldn't find a complete version.)
