Was violence not the answer in the American Revolution? Was violence not the answer in the French Revolution? In WWI? In WWII? In Normandy? When the people face oppression, asking them to stop never works. If death is going to happen, who should it be?

“Violence isn’t the answer!” Okay then what is? Because we’ve tried everything else. Oppressors don’t listen to reason. They’re incapable of it, all they understand is violence. The answer to violence IS violence. We didn’t start this fire, they did.

“Politics” is tax rates. “Politics” is voter demographic. “Politics” is spending and budgeting. Dehumanization and racism and oppression are NOT politics. Thinking in those ways and encouraging behavior related to those methods of thinking harms citizens first and foremost. Oppression is not politics. Oppression is a blight on civilization and should be dealt with accordingly.

As much as you might not want to admit it, the ideology fits.

And once again, just as violence begets violence, dehumanization begets dehumanization. We wouldn’t compare you fuckers to nazis if you’d stop doing things that nazis did / would do

Like strip rights, and detain innocents, and hold people in camps that are intentionally poorly maintained, and encourage prejudices, and partake in genocide

Civil Rights, Women’s rights to bodily autonomy, transgender people’s rights to live as themselves, Diversity rights. And no, I’m talking about: Homeless people, Latino people, Hispanic people, Palestinian people. Aborted fetuses don’t have consciousness or senses.

Yes. That is literally the distinguishing factor that separates humanity from any other living creature is the capacity to make conscious rational thought.

Reading comprehension. The capacity.

No, no I was making fun of your reading comprehension. It’s the capacity for conscious rational thought. Not their current presence or lack-thereof of thought.

Having any. Not a certain amount, any capacity. The mentally handicapped can still reason. When babies are born, they reason. Unborn fetuses do not reason. They do not do anything, they do not think, they do not hunger they do not thirst.

They still have the capacity to. They can wake up at any point. When there’s no chance for recovery, that’s when you’re given the option to pull the plug, right?
