One pitchfork - do you have a blue one? - and a torch please. Preferably lavender scented.

Lightning bolts or flames on that blue pitchfork? Might I interest you in a lovely rainbow torch handle?
This isn't nearly as fun without the pitchfork examples from PitchforkEmporium...
Against tanks, riot shields, and bombs. Sure buddy, sure. Grab your pitchfork, I'll grab popcorn. 🙄

now that I've had my fun maybe you'd be interested in this very recent example
Thanks for proving my point I guess..?
Meaning it's literal suicide.
Edit because you're sure to bring this up: sure you might bring about change, but each individual in that protest holding a proverbial pitchfork is just yet another practice target for the cops.
They took down the government.... Their revolution succeeded.
I didn't realize your point was even stupider than I imagined. Thanks for your great contribution Socrates.
You sound like you just have a martyr fantasy. That or you actively want your fellow protesters dead.
history is full of examples where people just sat around waiting and change happened
It's like you really don't want to argue about the original point of this thread, pitchforks vs cops. Gotta wonder why you would avoid the topic so much.
Oh wait, literally no one's wondering because you've got "bitch" plastered on your forehead at this point.
So it was projection all along, of course it was.
I'm calling it how I see it.
It's funny how your type advocates for pitchforks, then when rational folk come along and tell you the shit you're facing they're "boot-lickers" and "submissive". Where's your initial courage?
Like I already mentioned, false bravado from a little superhero complex pussy.
I never claimed to have any? All I have is popcorn and a will to live. Oh, and I guess I'm looking forward to seeing you die by cop too.
Are you pleading to the people you're supposedly going to fight with pitchforks in that little fantasy of yours? Not the brightest tool in the shed that's for sure.
That superhero complex is really turning into a god complex at this point. Do you want to talk about how you believe you're the source of "everything good that ever happened in history" ?
