Read the "paradox of intolerance" if you have not, and wonder after you do who and for what purpose the 'citizens should never ever resort to violence' idea serves best. I upvoted you because i like when people speak their minds knowing they'll be unpopular. I do disagree with you, but ive come to my new belief recently and don't look down on those i feel are walking on the same path i walked
I'm aware of it. And I agree with it. It's nuanced and hard to really get into without writing a book here. I hate Trump and I can't even say I haven't considered how much safer I'd feel if he died. That I haven't at times impatiently wondered when the backlash against stochastic terrorism would inevitably rise up and answer violence with violence.
Hell if the assassin had gotten him, I think a lot more people would condemn the act from the safety of a post Trump world. But such things threaten to spill into open violence. And who can de-escalate if both sides are doing it? And without de-escalation, what is the end of violence? A horrific outcome no matter which side wins.
If we won, if we murdered and assassinated every white suprematist, every anti-abortionist, every homophobe and transphobe, every billionaire, who would we even be? And when would we stop?
I could go on at great length, but I'll stop here. I appreciate respectful disagreement. I'm not anyone's enemy here. I value the discussion and opinions I don't share. I might not have spoken up but I didn't see anyone else saying the things I felt needed to be said.
Anyway, salute brother (or however you identify). May we all come out on the other side of this thing together.
