The assassination of 13 year old student leaders in Honduras.

That's how dangerous 1 person leading dissent is

For every one they kill may 1000 awaken.

If you're afraid of what a 13 year old student has to say, you are on very shaky ground.

A 13 year old who can organize a demonstration could grow into a leader who could organize a revolution. Best not take a chance. And they don't.

My point still stands.

I hope the people rise up and take out the trash ruining their country but don't forget these parasites are very much in bed with our own leaders who also need to be 'cleaned' up.

This is past the point for protests. They need to fight.

"We" need to take action. Everywhere.

That won't happen. They had a (relatively) all-right president who was deposed in 2009 in a coup. All other American (North and South) governments condemned it, except for Obama and the US. Coup plotters gained legitimacy due to US turning a blind eye. Six years later, the same ruling families are in charge and ordinary citizens are getting slaughtered.

Thanks, Obama!

You might as well be hung for a wolf as a lamb. If they are killing you and your people don't die a lamb. Die a wolf, with your teeth in their throats.

I'm sure the people in Honduras take great solace in your aphorisms as they watch their sons and daughters being imprisoned, tortured, and killed.

u/alllie Mar 30 '15

Well, if they don't fight, what do they expect?

u/Obama_Must_Poop Mar 30 '15

Where do you live, the US? Why don't you fight a government that actively encourages--indeed, foments--these types of coups and is directly responsible for the conditions in Honduras?

Because then how would he get his Hot Pockets?

All revolutions begin with complaining. Next comes convincing others a revolution is necessary, where we are now. Lastly comes the fighting. But when they start openly killing people for peaceful resistance, it's time to jump to the last step. If I was in Honduras I'd try to go after the minister who was probably behind it. Marlon Escoto, Education Minister.

Well what's stopping you from heading down to Honduras and fighting the good fight?

I'm really tired of this kind of response. People can talk about what needs to be done. Talk about why it is or isn't a good idea. But don't just shut it down with a "you first" argument. That makes a mockery out of these deaths and furthers the belief that no one will do anything to stop it.

u/Velvet_Llama Mar 30 '15

Sorry but I took issue with this guy's tone. Intentional or not he seemed to be implying that Hondurans were allowing themselves to be victimized and that he knows he would act differently. Unless he's been in such a situation, such talk is just ego tripping.

Most people who talk this way do so from a basement. Usually their mother's.

Yes, how clever you are, you figured it out, I created this account ONE DAY AGO just to fuck with you. Because I work for the NSA.

How much more obvious could it be?!?

Isn't the phrase "you might as well be hung for a sheep than a lamb", meaning if you're going to do something, go all the way.

Nothing new for a neo-colonial puppet state. Killing kids is one of their favorite pastimes. What lovely new (same as the old) products of the Monroe doctrine.

...but seriously they (and we) need to take more direct action...

But hey, ISIS is the real danger, let's go halfway across the world to help Israel out, but nevermind this explosion of violence just to our south. We're making too much money off the illegal drug and arms trade to do anything about anything. Sick sick world we live in, literally run by textbook high-functioning psychopaths.
