The issue is that it is working, just not for you. And the people that it is working for have gotten very rich and powerful as a result of this system. If we want to unmake it, they won’t let us do it without a fight - a real one. No amount of demanding will get people to give up their goose that lays golden eggs.

Great, so you also agree that a violent revolution is necessary to stop oppression then

I think that’s what the comic you commented on is trying to convey. Arguing that violence isn’t a solution is silly, because oppressors will always use violence to prevent an uprising.

No such agreement is made in the cartoon. Only the first character expresses a categorical opposition to violence, and the second character calls him out for it.
You’re lecturing an anarchist about not having laws and also breaking rule 2. This is your fair warning, just in case you’re merely doing so out of a concern for Palestinians.
In any case, I live in the US, and Palestine would be far better off without our military.
I just read your rules. What makes the US Prison system special over any other prison system? Are you saying we should let Jeff Dahmer go because its America? What about ICE? Should we let unvaccinated folks immigrate? What about trusting the science?
I dont think youre a lefty, you just hate America.
Maybe this system is so horrible that I do not care if the machine keeps working if we fix it or if it’ll go out in flames. As long as we get to break it.
I can emphathize.
