  • I think it's kind of dangerous to fall into a trap of applying historical models. You've got to lay out principles that determine when violence is justified, and then see whether or not the situation you're faced with meets those principles. History rhymes, but it never quite repeats itself. We need to be prepared for that, and act accordingly.

  • @00maharum00ma I'd say the message is fairly consistent: act as a reaction, there is no need to be the aggressor when permitted to build for change peacefully.

    Violence is a decoy, indifference to the current system is the best obsoleting approach to reverse engineer this mess. As we approach "Peak Fiction" Violence will manifest out of the fear of the unknown.
