You can't fight fire with fire

[drakulton]

You do know that woodland firefighters actually do fight fire with fire?

They fell trees and conduct a controlled fire to create a firebreak of ground with no flammable material left for the approaching fire to use as fuel.

So, you're advocating burning peaceful protesters.

Touché.

I think Ghandi would beg to differ?

Ghandi didn't change anything by a peaceful protest. Things only changed when he actively become involved in the political process.

 

[Sankari]

Peaceful protests have never changed anything.

Wrong.

Ghandi didn't change anything by a peaceful protest. Things only changed when he actively become involved in the political process.

Peaceful protest is part of the political process. The British began negotiating with Ghandi as a result of his peaceful protest, when they realised he could not be silenced or intimidated into giving up.

You can probably fight fire with fire.

the larger flame with use all the oxygen in the surrounding area and smoother the first fire surely

I bet you can extinguish like a gas lamp with a flame thrower

If the nieghbour fully supports the guy in the tank and is going to then move into your back garden, then they didn't have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Yeah, but in this case the neighbour actually told the guy in the tank he was being a bit of a **** and they didn't agree with what he was doing.

Of course now that you've killed the neighbour, everyone else on the street (who also initially thought tank guy was being a ****) have also turned against you, because based on your actions they're now thinking that actually, maybe tank guy was right all along

Has peaceful protest ever won a war?

Yes. Many places have achieved independence through peaceful protest.

but there are many other cases where the neighbour didn’t think the guy in the tank was being a ****. There is a total double standard with what is going on in Ukraine. It is obviously horrible what is going on and I wish it wasn’t, but there is a double standard going on with reporting it and supporting it.

 

[BowdonUK]

Wrong.

Can you explain how a peaceful protest is going to help in this current Russian invasion of Ukraine?

 

[Malevolence]

you can't fight fire with fire

Ever seen how they put out a fire at an oil well?

 

[builder22]

wet dishcloth?

 

[Vinno]

If only you'd been around in the past, you could have stopped WW2.

 

[NVP]

@_crazy_crazy_ ...6 years of silence!?

 

[Russinating]

So @airrunner if somebody invaded your house, you'd let them have it?

 

[drakulton]

@_crazy_crazy_ ...6 years of silence!?

and 5016AD until MM access.

 

[AORUS]

Yes. Many places have achieved independence through peaceful protest.
