Maybe, but I'd argue it's becoming clear that there will be a stage at which we should become violent, lest we become utterly enslaved to these forces. I worry we'll hit that threshold, not recognize it and simply accept our shackles. I don't want that future.
At some point if there is no other recourse, yes, but keep in mind that if that did happen while the media is running propaganda for them, they will be able to spin that violence in their favour through lies and marshal the entire country against you in a very serious way.
Ok, so what stops the media from running propaganda? I don't see any mechanisms by which to hold them accountable or create an incentive for them to stop running propaganda. We've already seen that financial incentives don't work to stop the messaging.
There may not ever be a window of opportunity during which the media isn't running propaganda. Do we just never act if that's the case?
An indignant crowd of thousands of protesters besieging their buildings, refusing to let anyone go in or out, and demanding they stop lying, would help a lot.
