They call you "the violent left" not only to demonize you, but also to make you deny it and act contrarian to it. And you do. But further competing at being the most stompable doormat is only going to encourage more violence from the right.
The No Kings movement organizers asked people to not be violent and to leave weapons, even legally owned ones, at home. I will happily follow the first request, but these days, there's a zero percent chance I'm doing the second.
Luckily, the one counter-protester at my local event was completely peaceful and so we yelled, sung some songs, caused a minor traffic slowdown, and went home.
It wasn't terribly effective, but it was good to get out for the afternoon.
Are the No Kings protestors "the left" or are they just people? I guess a bunch of them are "left" and a vanishingly small proportion of them vote GOP but still. When it comes to having a demented POTUS who lies as often as he breathes, who is destroying the country, who is obviously corrupt, who is taking us into an illegal and unjustified war that he can't "win" by any normal definition of that word... can't the people protesting him just be people?
There are violent rights and lefts. The rights just figure out how to profit off it and the lefts have untreated mental illnesses they harness as a weapon. Both need a good few days of digging some holes in the desert and planting trees.

It's almost as if the Media both corporate and social being owned by billionaires is a bad idea.

If non violence was effective, it would have worked by now.

It’s just like them to be this sneaky. They do all their violence on line. With words and logic and shit.

The violent people are on the right. Always have been.

We need people on the left who are capable of great violence. Fascism will not go quietly, we're going to need to remove it through force.

I would have not expected the 107 category; you hardly hear about religiously motivated attacks in the news anymore. Weird bias…

100% It is very important that we first try to solve our differences with words.
Sadly, attempting to reason with unreasonable men is getting us nowhere. The time for words has passed.

Not just in the US - No Kings held multiple marches internationally as well
Idontneedrealfacts
Did they hold them in countries with kings?
GratuaCuun
There were 39 international rallies across Europe, Latin America, and Australia - most likely some kings DID get protested against as well
