na you're just making assumptions instead of reading what is actually said. I have not made a statement about what paths I personally support, only that unless you take action personally non-sense about the practicality of a particular idea is self defeating. there are always challenges and struggles the point is to surmount them not wallow in self pity. again pointing to a personal issue with the person claiming impracticality. not with the person proposing and ideally taking action on a path.

I don't see anyone wallowing in self-pity on my side of the fence here, it's a matter of 'violence costs lives' and you don't change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don't without organised and persistent violence

uh huh and what side of the fence is that? and what side am I on apparently? and who precisely is wallowing in self pity?

it’s a matter of ‘violence costs lives’ and you don’t change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don’t without organised and persistent violence

uh huh, and who are most people in this situation? because most people seem very fine with mr thompsons death. otherwise the media moguls wouldn't be spending their breath trying to tell people it wasnt okay.

who precisely is snowing in self pity

I dunno, you're the one who talked about it. Don't ask me what you mean, lol, not my fault if you don't understand yourself

ah sorry 8 days ago. ;) my point about self-pity was in reference to your original assertion about there not being realistic paths forward. didnt mean to imply anyone here was. point was that just because you dont consider a path realistic doesn't mean it isnt.
