Huh? The whole point is that the dictators in power during the uprisings weren’t able to quash them simply by being violent. It doesn’t need to be some sort of larger metaphysical success for goodness to be a demonstration of the limits of violence.
If your entire philosophy is just the bad guys are too powerful and there’s nothing that can be done, fine, but it’s not useful or helpful. Learned helplessness is literally the goal of dictators and you’re speedrunning it.
Which one of those uprisings involve people spraying bullets into the crowd? And, again, the uprisings were a failure.
And the thing that could be done was already not done in November. That’s why I’ve taken my lesbian daughter to safety in Europe where she won’t be sent to conversion therapy by gunpoint.
(Let me guess, there will be no genocide of queer people, they wouldn’t do that.)
Literally multiple regimes fell (Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen earlier, Syria just now). All of which had death tolls.
I’m glad you’re leaving both for her sake and because you don’t seem to have any concept of resistance and simply want to tell everyone it’s hopeless and nothing should be done.
The Arab Spring was a total failure. How do you not know that? It literally resulted in new dictatorships.
Do you think the Nazis were reluctant to massacre people they didn’t like? Because they weren’t.

Tunisia- dictatorship again.
Egypt- dictatorship again.
Libya - on its way based on the laws it is now passing.
Yemen - also on its way and also recruiting child soldiers.
Syria - we have no idea yet.
Please quote me.
I’ll repeat.
So you can’t quote me then. Why did you lie about me?
