    I’m not sure you know what you’re talking about, but I don’t really think I advocated for a revolution. But if I did, please refer me to it, so I can rectify my memory problems.

    I don’t want a civil war. But, I am not going to condemn violence in all forms. Sometimes, violence is the answer, even if it is the last option. That’s why we teach people (and CHILDREN) self-defense (literally a form of violence used beneficially.)

    It specifically benefits anyone that is okay with the status quo to have no violence, but that isn’t really great for those which are being exploited. So, like, it is an extremely privileged take to say violence is never the answer.

      I will. My opinion is that violence is never the answer. The post for this thread is literally about a plot to assassinate Trump.

      I don’t think assassination is the answer. If you don’t agree. That’s ok. We can agree to disagree.

        You keep motte and baileying. Please point to the post where I called for assassination.

        Just answer the question: Is self-defense also never the answer? Because self-defense is literally violence. Should people being beat to death not fight back? That’s also violence. You condemn them all when you say that.

          I never said you called for assassination. I said I don’t, and that if you don’t agree, cool. If you do agree, cool.

          I’m not going to advocate for violence, no matter what you say or ask.

        So if someone intended to stab you and you had access to a weapon, you’d just… Let yourself be stabbed by a stranger?

            Then that means you would allow it to happen? I mean heck, that’s the case, I applaud you for sticking to your belief all the way, even when faced with death.

                Well if what I worded isn’t violence, please, enlighten me - how would you define violence, and what would the scenario I proposed be classified as?

                    Thanks, that’s all I wanted to know.

                    Probably should add this to your post so others won’t keep questioning it and realize you are absolutist on this position btw, not someone with exceptions.
