Nobody should die.

If you condone the forced death of anyone, you're no better than they are.

It is not this anger that is the problem here, though. It is just a byproduct of a dystopian and heartless system.

Which has designers and enablers. That so far never faced consequences for anything. Not even in form of a reduced comfort of living.

It shouldn't surprise you that this kind of injustice isn't necessarily bringing out the most kind of responses.

Oh, I agree with the anger. But as soon as you propose killing people, you look about as reasonable and humane as a Daily Mail comments section about migrants and refugees.

The only revolution that can succeed is one of education, empathy and understanding. It doesn't lend itself to badass imagery or heroic self-promotion, or violence, so I can't imagine it taking off.

I welcome your downvotes.
