    Which is kinda fucked considering the Declaration of Independence says they derive their power from the consent of the governed.

    Which is a lie. Power comes from the monopoly on violence.

    What a stupid world.

        They don’t.

        If I were to non-violently withhold taxes to protest this genocide, the government would violently drag me into prison.

        Non-violent people only have power if there are violent people backing them up.

        It’s not like the guards who walked Ruby Bridges into school were armed with stern faces.
