    Fuck off with this shit. Normalizing political violence of any kind is not okay. It’s all fun and games until they start shooting at the people you support, and that’s a ratchet that tends to go only one way.

      how about when elected politicians bend the knee to private interests, giving preference of basic resources like water or electricity to datacenters over their own cities? How are citizens supposed to react?

      The fuck you talking about? They already are killing civilians under this ICE bullshit. Comply or get shot in the face.

      Edit: sorry I’ll dignify you with an actual response that reflects my views, I shouldn’t just reaction image something like this. I think political violence is going to ramp up due to the deteriorating living conditions within the American empire and there’s nothing we can do to prevent that. The goal should be to direct it.

      Uh they already have been murdering democratic politicians. Remember that guy who got beaten with a hammer? Or that couple and their dog who got shot by a dude pretending to be a cop? It has been happening already. Your point is nonexistant

      Decrying political violence is incredibly naive. Violence has been a political tool for thousands of years. It’s not an ideal solution 99.99% of the time, but it does achieve results. I mean hell, the American Revolution was literally political violence.
