      Violence is never the answer, that being said, we can’t allow the French to outdo us

        I mean with the recent stuff going on with them trying to deport someone for the pro-palestine protests I’m just reminded of the quote “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”

        I don’t know what you mean by that. Violence is always an option, and is quite often a solution. It’s never the optimal solution, but quite often a perfect solution does not exist. You’re competing with violence - violence is the control, and if you can’t come up with a solution better than it in time, people will opt for it.

        You are correct violence is never the answer, it’s a question and the answer is yes. Unless you want something from someone long term then it’s more profitable overall to make a long term trade agreement backed up by ultra violence, like degloving them and then rolling them around in salt like a meat stick… Mmm meat stick.

      France outdoing the US in Tesla protests is last week’s news. The US is catching up. From the article:

      Last week, Tesla charging stations in Boston were set ablaze… Gunshots shattered windows and damaged cars at a Tesla showroom in Oregon…And Colorado authorities arrested a woman accused of tossing Molotov cocktails at Tesla cars parked at a dealership and allegedly spray-painting an expletive at the entrance.
