[yellow, a finger up, looking smug]
The answer to oppression is NEVER violence
Turn the other cheek
Pacifism always wins
You could earn rights by asking nicely instead

[yellow, proudly showing us a huge book]
Don’t believe me?
Open a history book!

[yellow, looking frustrated as they are shuffling through the book’s pages]
Ok so…
Uhm…
Not this page…
Wait…
The next one…
Awkward…
Another…
Yeah but…
For sure this time…

[yellow, sweating, protecting their book, a hand raised towards us]
Can you stop looking?
You’re being rude
That’s my book

    Sure it is.

    I mean hell, you just might become the first people on history to win their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of their oppressors. But I’m betting on plenty of violence being the only practicable alternative to the ruling class shuffling is right past serfdom and into actual slavery.

      My point is that the population can’t win against killer drones. If the drones are good enough to kill the Russian army then they are good enough to kill western civilians.
