    I know what an asshole he was, but reading all of his bullshit just makes me hate him even more. I’m against violence, but oh my god, the world hasn’t lost anything of value.

      “I am against using violence against the nazi thug inciting a crowd to kill me and my entire family. I find it acceptable that every single day, a hate preacher constantly attempts to round up nazis to kill me and my family.”

      They’ll still get you in your shell, whether you believe in violence or not. They believe in violence.

        Many people, myself included, who are against violence are just against it being the first method used to resolve a situation.

        I’m a pacifist, but if someone was an immediate threat to myself or a loved one, and there was no peaceful way to resolve things, I’d use whatever violence was necessary to remove the threat. And I’d sleep like a baby after it too.

        I believe in it as well. I just don’t believe that it’s a proper solution. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

          true, but when it’s eye for “oh shit they took my ear, hand, liver, and toes already”, not quite the same, is it

          violence is A solution.

          often overlooked because of the permanence of the end result. some look at that as a flaw. most look at it as the feature.

            It is the final reaction, but should never be the start of the argument. I know it’s the American way, but look at where America is now.

              this argument has been going on far longer than any of us have been alive.

              don’t fool yourself into thinking they don’t see it any other way.

              their leaders are literally calling for a fucking holy war against everyone not like them.

              when will people like you understand they want to kill people indiscriminately just satiate their thirst for power?
