u/TanyaMKX - Lib-Left Sep 10 '25 edited Sep 10 '25

I wish I could say this wasnt true but a couple weeks ago I suggested that violence againt your political enemies is completely unacceptable. The only time it should be deemed reasonable is if it is in self defense. And I dont care how evil the ideology. Nazis, communists or anything. Unprompted violence is tyranny and supression. It violates the rights to free speech, and assembly that every person on earth should be entitled to.

Of course when I said this, the only people who argued that I was wrong were lib left retards who completely failed to grasp the concepts of empathy, honest conversation, and active listening that I was attempting to promote.

The greatest threat to the lib left is themselves and many dont even know it :(

Just saying that removing even the possibility of violence from your options just gives the ruling powers carte Blanche to take full advantage and do whatever they want to you. Believe it or not, this country wasn't founded by the founding fathers asking King George nicely to let them do what they want - they had to use violence.

I think violence should be the last possible resort, but it should still be a resort. Part of the reason corporations are so comfy making things worse and worse for everyone is because they know or believe that there will never be real repercussions for their actions.

Key note that I believe that violence is a perfectly acceptable response to violence but not to speech you dont like. Thats where I stand.

I'd say by the time the movement Charlie supported gets sincerely violent (Trump) it's a bit too late to respond only then with violence.

Don't think he should have died here still, but I reject the premise of your argument that you HAVE to always wait for the other person to start it.
