Just look at happened with the general strikes in France. 11 million workers. They ended up getting shut down by the military.

Not if you know an alternate solution

2018-03-21 02:03:49 UTC  

The only time transitions happen is when enough of the population is either onboard and indifferent, and the military doesn't find common cause with the state

2018-03-21 02:03:54 UTC  

There are no alternate options

2018-03-21 02:04:01 UTC  

You're positing something that doesn't exist

2018-03-21 02:04:12 UTC  

Doesnt mean it wont

2018-03-21 02:04:36 UTC  

Only it does

2018-03-21 02:04:41 UTC  

Given the nature of opposing a state

2018-03-21 02:04:49 UTC  

It will inevitably respond to you with violence

2018-03-21 02:05:06 UTC  

And either you stop your "peaceful" destruction of the state, or you die

2018-03-21 02:05:09 UTC  

Unless you fight it.

2018-03-21 02:05:12 UTC  

Someone with a good imagination would have a peaceful solution

2018-03-21 02:05:18 UTC  

No, they wouldn't

2018-03-21 02:05:20 UTC  

without the need of fighting

2018-03-21 02:05:36 UTC  

Even if they protested and someone else jumped in to fight them on their behalf

2018-03-21 02:05:38 UTC  

I disagree. We can do it without the need to fight.

2018-03-21 02:05:40 UTC  

Its a matter of violence

2018-03-21 02:05:48 UTC  

You can disagree, but you're wrong

2018-03-21 02:05:48 UTC  

Plenty of imaginative people have peaceful solutions to problems they don't understand.

2018-03-21 02:05:53 UTC  

I disagree

2018-03-21 02:05:55 UTC  

It hasn't and won't happen

2018-03-21 02:06:21 UTC  

@Deleted User Im talking about those who do understand it though

2018-03-21 02:06:30 UTC  

What's stopping us?

2018-03-21 02:06:30 UTC  

And having an imagination doesn't somehow give you credence to peacefully topple a state

2018-03-21 02:06:36 UTC  

You've ascribed an arbitrary value

2018-03-21 02:06:40 UTC  

How isnt it?

2018-03-21 02:06:42 UTC  

To something not at all arbitrary

2018-03-21 02:07:00 UTC  

Stop asking questions, you said it did have something to do with it

2018-03-21 02:07:05 UTC  

@Mr. X If they understood the problem then they wouldn't be proposing unworkable solutions.

2018-03-21 02:07:11 UTC  

So prove it

2018-03-21 02:07:23 UTC  

And keep in mind the formula for toppling states exists, is taught,

2018-03-21 02:07:37 UTC  

It isnt something people imagine in every random case

2018-03-21 02:07:49 UTC  

Why? Because its not a matter of imagination >.>

2018-03-21 02:08:05 UTC  

@Deleted User No but one will and one might work

2018-03-21 02:08:10 UTC  

No it is

2018-03-21 02:08:18 UTC  

Planning has everything to do with imagination

2018-03-21 02:08:29 UTC  

well not everything but a lot atleast

2018-03-21 02:08:45 UTC  

Still ascribing random values

2018-03-21 02:08:50 UTC  

To things that aren't random at all

2018-03-21 02:09:14 UTC  

Sure but I'll be surprised

2018-03-21 02:09:25 UTC  

I dont see why you are doing this and ask that you stop. There is nothing explicit about toppling a state that means your have to have imagination
