You can't overthrow violent oppressors using peaceful means
ID: 4 panels:
A self righteous person holds their hand up and says "Violence is never the solution."
Stephie replies with a smile "Oh! So you agree that we shouldn't give weapons to the police?"
She adds "And that we should dismantle the army?"
Stephie is now right up behind the other person, looking angry, saying "Or did you mean that violence is only a solution when it helps maintain the status quo?". The other person looks deeply uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, you can only dismantle the army, if everyone dismantles the army. Otherwise you'll get it involuntarily replaced by a foreign army and have to start over at zero. 🙁
