this. “for their believes” definetly no. If you can keep them from doing horrible stuff it can be considered. Violence needs negative sum violence. Otherwise its bad. That’s the lefty imperative imo

In it’s core this is a “back in the days things were alright” fallacy. Everyone should have gotten serious about organization, unions, changing the social order to one beneficial for the people, staying vigilant… When Bush lied about Weapons of Mass destruction. When Reagan helped making the neoliberal project hegemonial. When anti-communist propaganda was ramped up.

Things are getting more fucked up. Time to act. They were horribly fucked up before. Time to act :)
