      This is a terrible take. Introducing violence into politics always, always, leads to dark places nobody wanted to go. Besides being wrong, it’s completely counter-productive.

      PS. Yeah, downvoting doesn’t make you right to advocate cold-blooded murder that would probably trigger civil war. Jesus.

        politics is violent, inherently. taxation is violent, inherently. policing is violent, inherently. control of another is violent, inherently.

        the state is, by definition, a monopoly on violence. dont pretend you are above inflicting pain on others.

          You just said it yourself. In a civilized order it’s the state that monopolizes violence. You don’t get to invent the laws and prosecute them yourself. Personally I don’t want to live in a society of vigilantism or civil war. Bluster aside, I suspect that you don’t either.
