    Escalation to violence is exactly what they want.

    Are you sure? It seems like the escalation is what they don’t want. And that’s why they’re having to call in the marines to try and scare people back into submission.

    Passive acquiescence and blind obedience is what they want. That’s why the news media is so eager to label these protests as abnormal, intolerable, and anti-American. If the conservatives wanted protests, they wouldn’t be so eager to censor the protests’ advocates and so worried about valorizing these opposition efforts.

      Is that why they’re shooting random protesters with rubber bullets, even though there’s no justification? What are they trying to “prevent”?
