And they killed those who resisted through violence as well... What's your point? Resist and die, or don't and die? So, sounds to me that, to you, it's death either way. Which is naturally the case anyway. So, why not chose what path is going to make you happiest whilst you have a few seconds of life left?
If the new paradigm has to be brought in by violence, then it is not a new paradigm... Same old shit.
