The point is that you fight against injustice even in the face of state violence. Every movement that is a threat to existing power structures faces violence. Take a look at the labor movement in the US, the civil rights movement in the US, the anti-war movement in the US.

> Malcom X and MLK both had their followings. People like Pretti, never will.

The new movement is decentralized and doesn't rely on figureheads.

Also, you should read the news today if you think Pretti's death was in vain: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=general%20strike&tbm=n...

You've offered a lot of criticism - what do you think the solution is?

You dismiss the relevance of following others as irrelevant because it's all "decentralized".

Yet damn me for not offering a "solution."

You sir, are a hypocrite. If I'm damned for not offering you a solution, it can't simultaneously be true following my "solution" is irrelevant to third parties and everything waived away as "decentralized".

Conversation ended for bad faith practice, heads I win, tails you lose scenario.

    So instead of replying with ways that you think the movement could combat injustice, you've decided to make this personal? It's okay to say "I don't know," but you probably shouldn't pretend to speak with authority on a subject that you completely fold on when questioned beyond surface level.

    > bad faith

    Projection if I've ever seen it.

      Since I am done with this sack of shit, I'd like to make a note for others.

      This individual has set a very clever logical fallacy trap.

      He has required you to set an example for others to follow.

      While claiming that following of others is irrelevant because it's 'decentralized.'

      This means following you cannot be used for benefit for others. But yet not offering something to follow can still be used against you for the purpose of damning you. Another words, in this clever logical fallacy, your "solutions" can only be used against you.

      It's a very cunning trap, and ultimately the goal here is to suggest there is a mark to your honor for not falling for it, which sets the snare for others to fall in. As soon as you call him out on this, he falls to the fallacy of "appeal to authority" by claiming you have none.

      Unfortunately it takes a degree of intelligence to see past this, so you can see why this immoral character employs this deceptive strategy.

        This is just 4chan-level drivel. It's wild to witness the thin veneer of intellectualism dissolve under scrutiny. There's no "cunning trap" here, I asked you a simple question which you still haven't answered. And instead you've just seized on a strawman and devolved into ad hominem.
