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.

These comics always bother me because while I agree with their message it's clear that the author is just using them to have a bit of a power fantasy. No conservative would ever act like that in response to being challenged.
Conservatives also rarely say that violence isn't the solution. Quite the opposite. That's an enlightened centrist/neoliberal take.
True lol
