Are the people finger-wagging and accusing people in this thread of advocating violence just ignoring everything the OP says? Dude has been explaining himself pretty clearly:
No. I knew it was wrong the moment I felt it. I understand the game. I've been in politics for over 20 years. This is the first time I've had a visceral reaction to it and I had to vent. I don't need anyone to validate my thoughts and actions. I'm an adult and know right from wrong. I just had enough for a moment in time that passed as quickly as it came.
You're not scoring any woke points for pointing that history is full of violence that has resulted in big chances in society. That doesn't change the fact that we, as a society, need to not turn towards violence if at all possible. It is the nuclear option as you point out. It's what happens when all else breaks down. Anything goes after that point and most people don't want that.
I don't think you can say that you are not advocating for violence while also being a tough guy saying crap like, "talk shit, get hit" in regards to someone wearing a provocative t-shirt.
What's up with you and the performative wokeman wanting to beat around the bush on your real feelings on whether or not violence would have been justified?
Modern society is built on systems meant to prevent people from resorting to violence. White supremacists reject the idea of a society that operates like this and actively works to break down these systems and reduce people's options for protecting themselves and those they love.
Violence is the nuclear option, yes. When all other options are exhausted. Guess what white supremacists are doing? Trying to remove minority groups' ways of protecting themselves. If you corner someone, they will eventually lash out. Yet you're finger-wagging at the people being cornered saying, "Now, don't resort to violence!" while ignoring the party that is cornering them to begin with.
History gives us many examples of this. When pushed too far, people who are normally non-violent are increasingly likely to resort to violence. Saying this does not mean that I advocate violence. Just that I understand that it is inevitable in many cases.
It's like when a kid keeps getting bullied every day at school and eventually lashes out and gets in trouble for it. You're ignoring WHY people being targeted by white supremacists might ever resort to violence to begin with. In other words, you're horribly naive.
After I overheard my grandma tell her friend over the phone that she supported Trump, you better believe I knocked her down then and there and choked her the fuck out.
HATE 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 TOLERATED 👏 IN 👏 THIS 👏 HOUSE
understandable since you were provoked
my uncle said that although he thought trump was a colossal asshole, he also didn't think he reached the level of human garbage. i told him not good enough and gave him a clean one right across the mouth
I don't know what it would take to get you guys to take white supremacy seriously. I'm at a loss. OP has clearly explained himself in this thread, yet you keep insisting that he advocates for violence based on what he admits is a single moment that surprised even him.
