A Pakistani business owner accused of trying to hire hit men to kill a U.S. politician has been convicted in a trial that showcased allegations of Iran-backed plotting on American soil.
What would you do if someone was about to be murdered, but you could stop them only by committing violence? What about if you were about to be murdered? Your family? Your children?
I mean, we say violence is never the answer, but most people would absolutely say violence is justified in those cases. Violence as a means to stop violence is generally seen as okay. We should never resort to violence when we do not have to, but violence is sometimes the answer.
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.
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.
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.

Violence isn’t the answer. I know you desperately want a civil war here in the US. Not gonna happen, no matter how much you want it to happen.
Where’s the revolution, bro? People aren’t even bothered enough to vote, they def ain’t gonna leave their house to start a revolution. lol
Advocating violence isn’t 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.
So if someone intended to stab you and you had access to a weapon, you’d just… Let yourself be stabbed by a stranger?
I’m not going to advocate for violence, not matter what you say or ask.

Thanks. I will never advocate violence. Regardless of how you word it or what scenario you come up with. thx
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?

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.
