Uh huh. Fortunately that's not a world I live in.

We have people right now living that and I can't really work up sympathy for them.

Hence the need to accuse the other side of infiltrating your cause.

This is my issue with communism and violent revolution. It just sets up the government to fail. If you accept that you might also accept the more general premise that changes in power that are merely aggressive in nature are doomed to fail because of bad blood between the past government and new government.

Outside of overthrowing a true dictatorship government, there is no cause that would make that justifiable.

Maybe, I agree that violent revolution should be reserved for violent oppression, but what about replacing a faulty democratic structure in a way that was nonviolent but also very hostile? Like flooding local races with candidates to take over a party.

i don't have a problem with rioting in and of itself. there are only two things that speak in this country. there's money and profound displays of aggression, and if you don't have the former then sometimes you just have to have the latter in order for people to hear you

the problem with the capitol riots wasn't that they rioted, it was that it was for a dumb fucking cause

If she says we partied, then I'm pretty sure we partied. I really don't remember. I remember we departed from our bodies.
