that's just not even close to what i mean by "remove"

revolution is the only way you can forcibly remove people from power.

that's a lot closer to what i mean by remove, but i don't want to go into detail, as i prefer not to incite violence.

westerner's are propagandized into believing that non-violence is the only viable path to change and are adamantly opposed to self introspection in this regard; there will little to no support for a forced change.

but i'm a westerner, too.

our education makes us see non-violence as an ideal, but we know there are other options. we do not consider those usually, because they are a waste of resources. a persons life or health is considered a very expensive loss. but unusual problems can require unusual solutions.
