Well, the professor's message does not promote violence, and that wasn't the point of my post. If you watch the video, what he's really saying is that the sheep are under a spell and attach themselves to the main narrative because it's given to them really almost hypnotically by those in power with a strategy to cope. He's saying, we can't fight against that directly - these sheep cannot think rationally and any attempt to argue with them makes them uneasy and scared again, so they won't listen. They'll go so far as to commit the most worst atrocities against us, and the more absurd the better as it's almost ritualistic, which gives them a sense of belonging, as they have found security in the "collective" and think they are doing good. Actually having physical confrontations with them is a bad strategy because it only strengthens their resolve and makes them feel right about their twisted thinking.

So, the point is not to argue with them try to wake them up, but to continue to speak out and find like-minded others. We're not trying to reach sheep, but other lions, to create a sort of counter hypnosis or force to reduce this hypnotic spell. Just having a counter-narrative running shows them there are other people that think the opposite of the way they do. The point is to break the spell and give them something really to fear, which is not the virus, but that we are running straight toward a totalitarian nightmare. If we are able to do this, then we can start to discuss things rationally. If our side is silenced, the shit show starts. Things get out of hand overnight and even the commies themselves will get slaughtered. We don't want that. We need to keep on talking, get more people to talk about it. The minute this stops, the nightmare begins. Our existence alone is what is stopping it all going to hell. We need more people to speak out and keep telling the truth.

At the end of it all, the professor basically says that all totalitarian regimes self-destruct. He gave the above strategy as a way that we may be able to thwart it, but even if it doesn't work, so long as our dissident voice stays alive, we might be allowed to exist, but be marginalized because all totalitarian regimes need an object to hate. If they don't have a specific target, they will end up killing their own leaders. It's not going to be pretty and not going to be easy, but we need to find a way to survive, while the system destroys itself. This last scenario is bleak, and I prefer to focus on what we can do, which is what I wrote in the paragraph above, but always have this plan b in the back of your mind.
