directed to me or what?
re: domestic terrorism or advocating for violence in some circumstances?
Discussion
1. im not in the business of reifying 'domestic terrorism' & the weaponization of that term so idk what to say to that i didnt even read the slaynews article in full cos idk slaynews, i search engined the name of one of the authors, read that fuck shit, & bounced off it
2. i do not, have not, will not advocate physical violence of any kind. during my very worst moments like when ive been a total fucking monster person, i have been emotionally violent thru words. i try not to be. i dont think thats ok to be. but yea i have been that but i dont advocate for that either.
^ answering in clarity out of generosity cos im not sure this was meant for me to even answer. multiple tags. ✌️but yea i dont advocate violence im fine to just suffer & die at the hands of these people. im not a policy person. im not a decision maker here. if its resist or die, i die im out
I don't think I can take your approach to be honest. Especially when it comes to my family.
i understand. my approaches are not meant to be taken. they are individual to my life circumstances.
where i am coming from, if this helps clarify: i prefer to not give anyone the power over me of making me into a murderer, which i fundamentally am not, even & including up to the cost of my life
if i had children i would die to protect them, otherwise, like very realistically, you are speaking to someone who moves ants outside with wet papertowel that isnt wet enough to drown them & allows them time to crawl off at their leisure. what am i gonna do but just die about it ya know?
like the whole thought experiment of time traveling to kill hitler as a baby
i answered that ages ago for myself & the answer is no, all babies are innocent even baby hitler
Ahh yes, this is not me. I don't go out of my way to hurt things but I will when necessary
"... does justifying one out of pocket thing tend to lead to many inevitable downstream justifications?"
I was just really addressing around this last blurb. I'm not advocating for either violence or these crazy people. It would seem the continued justifications snowballing or not being acceptable would be an it depends issue. I'm not looking at it from the philosophical or psychological type of standpoint you seem to be at depth.
I would assume it depends on people's tolerance for outcomes and their camps they fall in. Seems too many variables. So, it depends. That's all I'm saying. I should probably spend more time thinking about your overall ? Though. Hopefully these whack jobs don't gain traction but this seems to a Bill Gates type of ilk
I think violence in defense of self or persons is acceptable. I value my life and that of my loved ones more than someone I don't know and still more than them.
This is one area I really fall short in as a Christian to be honest.
