I didn’t know what they were and had to look it up
The Bell Riots were an event that took place in San Francisco on Earth in September 2024. They led to the end of the Sanctuary Districts and marked the real beginning of Humans working to find a lasting solution that would resolve social problems. This would set humanity on the path to founding the United Federation of Planets.
Hey, the date is coming up.

Why not? The bell riots themselves was one of the steps to class consciousness, something we desperately need now. Yeah people were hurt, but how different is that than BLM and other rights protests being mass arrested or openly fired upon these days?

That is a very machivellian attitude. I don’t believe that hurting people is justified, even if it were a shortcut to utopia, which it’s not.

All of human political activity boils down to violence. If pacifism were a legitimate strategy then we wouldn’t be in our current situation.

I believe that people should defend their right to exist.
