You've been making your "point"- whatever it is- by misrepresenting what THE AUTHOR wrote. She never called for an armed uprising. She doesn't want one. She was saying the the power structure is creating the conditions in which a growing number of people are coming to the conclusion that they have no alternative but something like that. Why should it be in admissable to acknowledge the reality of that? It's not as though you can prevent violence-which is what both of us want and which is also what the author wants- by simply lecturing people about how terrible violence is. Trump is the one pushing for violence to happen and trying to cause it by closing off all other means of working for change, and he is the one using force to clear nonviolent protesters away.
