I hope nobody is going to bullshit me and try to suggest that a lot of right wingers on this forum haven't been using language that supports shit like that as some kind of retaliation to leftism.

They also believe so much hate and conspiracy theories it's surprising this doesn't happen more often. Bring back a little debate at least to political shows.

That was ridiculous where were the police? Making Democratic mayors look bad. Anyway way overhyped on the GOP propaganda machine just like silly insult s and phony scandals and conspiracy theories against Democrats. A total disgrace. Like this poor schnook from Antioch Tennessee

I hope nobody is going to bullshit me and try to suggest that for the past four years, a lot of left wingers on this forum haven't been using language that supports shit like that as some kind of retaliation to Trump, and STILL ARE. FO

A lot of racists in the GOP, very polite about it. Take the black s advice.

Well lets consider that Dem policies KILL people so by the thousands and the unborn by the 10's of millions.

The left are out of their mind with Trump hate.

Do you unequivocally condemn political violence?
No. Sometimes it's justified as a last resort against those who seek to enslave others, either physically, morally, or financially.

Do you think it could be necessary in the years to come?

Yup

 

[Anomalism]

Yup

What are some ways you think that could play out?

 

[westwall]

Yup

What are some ways you think that could play out?

I don't know yet. The antifa and BLM terrorists will be making the first move in that respect, and I don't know what their immediate goals are. I know their long term goals, but short term not so much.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes.

 

[HappyJoy]

Was John Brown justified?

 

[my2¢]

I condemn political violence. I would include in that the intimadation of right wing speakers witnessed on campuses early in Trump's term.

 

[Rigby5]

No sane or rational person could ever condemn political violence.
That would mean we should not have rebelled from England, and we could still have feudalism and slavery.

The only real question is when is political violence justified?
And obviously is you are one of the thousands of Blacks murdered illegally by police. then it clearly has been more than justified ever since Blacks were brought to this country against their will.

I am not Blacks, but there are infinite reasons political violence is justified in the US.
For example, we lied about Iraqi WMD and illegally murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians with Shock and Awe, that deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure, causing death by lack of clean water, starvation, and lack of air conditioning.

 

[Rigby5]

Was John Brown justified?

If he has not acted so irresponsibly, then he could have been justified.
But his actions were not well planned out and were too violent.

 

[blackhawk]

I hope no one is going to try and pretend that some leftwingers over the last four years have not been fine with people being attacked and harassed for going to a Trump rally working in his administration or simply wearing a MAGA hat. If you only condemn political violence when it's those you agree with being attacked then you have no issue with political violence just who it's being directed at.

 

[Beef_Supreme]

Going after the govt, no.
Going after each other? Yes.

Can we have one without the other?

Good question

 

[MisterBeale]

When the government locks you up for non-payment of taxes. . . is that political violence?

If so. . .yeah, I condemn that shit.



When the government imposes trade sanctions on other nations because they don't like their policies, and it causes starvation? Yeah, I condemn that shit.


When the government drone bomb's innocent civilians looking for folks that might be a threat to our corporations? Yeah, I condemn that shit.



Most folks do not realize, the biggest perpetrator of political violence out there, is the U.S. government and the various private subcontracting military and intel corporations it uses.



If we want no more political violence, we will probably have to dissolve into our constituent states and end these pork give away budgets, to these terror corporations in our name.

Now that we have seen what they can do to our "free and fair elections."

I'm not so concerned with the planning. I'm specifically referencing the violence part considering the subject matter of the thread. John Brown wanted to start a violent revolution of oppressed slaves in the South. I think we can all agree that the slaves had at at least as bad as the poor Trumpers do today who are bitching all over this forum about killing liberals or whatever.

What do they think about John Brown gettin' on it? For that matter we can even talk about Nat Turner who was more violent.
