    Ww2 was politically driven violence. It was mostly justified to stop Hitler. The bombing civilians part wasn’t, but the only way to stop Hitler was politically driven violence.

    BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

    SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

    Violence is permissible when one is at threat of harm be it through social, economic, or direct violence. Meaning that the bludgeoning a pacifist for trying to fuck you over economically is just as valid as gutting someone trying to stab you. But said actions must be taken with wisdom and consideration though. The casus belli for common folks is written in blood, it was written at Blair mountain, at Stonewall, at Tulsa. Its stimply a matter of finding the right time.

    Some people legit seem to think that the main problem with political violence is that only one side is doing it. Like wtf?

    "we are in the midst of a second revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it"

    But sure, advocating for political violence is bad.

    Over the past couple days I’ve heard a lot about how unacceptable violence is, and that’s fine, but if violence is never an acceptable option we have to make sure we have non-violent ways of resolving conflicts. I think the unspoken part of this plea for non-violence is that it’s better for conflicts to go unresolved than for them to be resolved through violence. I’m just not sure that’s a viable solution. In fact, that’s the opposite of a solution. I think these conflicts are going to resolve themselves one way or another, eventually.

    When the system is corrupt at every level you can encounter, removing the leader of that system is only a small part of the remediation that should be undertaken

    Political violence has been continuously and systemically inflicted on the working class and otherwise marginalised people for profit for centuries, you considering it being aimed towards head fascist a problem, is telling on yourself, and on where your allegiances lie - firmly and actively on the side of fascism.

    The only one you’re fooling is yourself.

    Hold on, let me ask my grandfather how he felt about political violence against fascists during his Normandy to Berlin tour.

      Not only that, it’s how we gained our independence. We celebrate political violence very year on July 4. A lot of people think the Second Amendment exists so people are able to commit political violence.
