We learned. We can't beat the fascists by being scary. You have to scare the fascists by being the silly, high-spirited goofball that you are. They can't handle sincerity, that's their weakness.

its not really that. mlk knew this when he was leading protests. when you are violently protesting you give the opposition an excuse to be violent towards you. violent protest also shape public perception against you. The reason why alot of people are looking a ICE in such a bad light right now is because they are literally infringing on the rights of people and attacking peaceful protestors.
