Discussing in the open is what they do - very few people pay any attention.
This can work just as well in reverse:
frame discussions as "incrediblisms" addressing personal issues.

If this is gonna work (I don't know for sure it will) at least it is important to be "clean", as in no talk of violence/revolution and so on. Ghandi is a good role model I suppose.

Violence breeds Violents.
We must convince violents that
they have more productive things to do than waste time and resources
chasing shadows.

That doesn’t work with socio and psychopaths.

It is impossible to remove the influence of a violent entity with peaceful means.

To me, this is a complicated issue. There is danger of becoming what you fight if you use "their" tools. And I get the feeling your analysis while seemingly logical is too simplistic

A people get the government they deserve. I believe this has much to do with attitude and what they allow, and that if the people are properly against something, it cannot take root.

Some interesting trends in that regard:
Australia is obviously getting what people (I know there) want: Utter Totalitarianism.
Others seem ro be quietly slipping away from such.

And I am not so sure that violence is needed as long as the disease of accepting bad things is avoided. Or maybe some "violence as last resort" is needed, hard to know for sure.
replied 1679d
Self-defense is a last resort should only be reverted to when there really is no other choice.
It is far more profitable to pre-emptively outwit violents than to play their games.

I have zero issue with
convincing sociopath tyrants and psyhopath tyrants
to consume themselves with violence against each other
while the rest of us observe from a safe disance
replied 1679d
safe distance is non-existent if you're in the same country. Also all current governments are equally malicious.

Personally I seek to take this a step further and reach some kind of meditating monk state while still being firm. Stress on "seek". I do not pretend to have achieved this.

I continue to push offline. as well as online.
Such is a difficult concept to explain but I am getting nearer to the mark.
replied 1679d
Maybe I split hairs too much here, but to me a finer point is that "pushing" itself is not perfect. Effortless action is my ideal. Whenever you push, you create some resistance.

I have been talking to people on the street. So easy to fall into old pattern of "quarrel" instead of being calm and letting things unfold and so on. And there is a simple reason.
replied 1679d
Basically it takes much more skill to not come out as a fool when you have to be kind/respectful to opposition, even if he is not to you. So much so that a pattern is drilled into us.

I used the wrong word "push".
What I mean is pushing to find key points of leverage to revise the conversation from
obey/disobey into more of a "we have a better way coming".
replied 1679d
Oh, I suppose you can disregard my other comment about "pushing" then. :)
