I can’t stand those self righteous assholes who preach “violence is never the answer” not only is that fundamentally ahistorical, but try saying that shit when you’re part of one of the demographics being targeted.

The problem is everyone thinks their cause is justified. If the rule becomes ‘violence is okay when I think I’m the good guy,’ there’s no real limit anymore.

how did the third reich fall again? how was abolition achieved? how did South African apartheid end? “who gives a fuck about history if I can make myself feel better by claiming to oppose violence, despite complying with systemic violence?”

be careful avoiding the point like that without stretching, you might hurt yourself. trump is, however, a fascist and pedophile currently spearheading a fascist consolidation of power within the United States, while also expanding on systemic oppression of demographics that live here.

like i alluded to, how do systemic forms of oppression normally end? unless you, as I already touched on, want to openly support his fascist ideological beliefs and actions; which makes you complicit in said violence. can’t exactly claim to be opposed to political violence, or violence in general, as you sit here dismissing systemic forms of it, especially ones on the rise.

that’s because i’m not discussing the use of violence. the third reich fell because the allies beat them (with guns).

personally I see the only justified forms of violence as those that are a direct combat of systemic oppression (basically the power dynamics of oppressor vs oppressed) aside from that, on an individual scale, I’d personally justify cases of violence such as a victim retaliating against their abuser, stuff like that; but otherwise I’d agree that violence is overwhelmingly unacceptable (with the exception of those few caveats)

did your original comment focus on “planning violence” being illegal, or not? and organization was obviously a secondary point, as you made it conditional to the point of planning violence: “planning to do violence is illegal. my argument is about posting about it publicly shows levels of incompetence that makes actual organizing impossible” Why does your original reference of organizing have any bearing on this conversation if it’s built off a fundamental misunderstanding on your part?
