Yay murder
That’s like having sympathy to the fall of Eagle’s Nest. Your humanity has ironically lost its way, lest you are in support of thousands murdered technically unfortunately dead with no recourse or solution to stop the killings.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
I’m sure you’d have preferred France to remain a monarchy because of moral absolutism?
That’s the logical conclusion to draw when someone is criticizing the celebration of a vigilante murderer.
No, I think we need more people like him. Much more. I’m sure that’s a wonderful world to live in.
This isn’t a binary. You can oppose absolutism, revolutionary terror and the current neoliberal status quo all at the same time.
you are painting an oversimplified picture.
“i am sure you’d have preferred Gandhi to pick up a gun because he was met with violence?” we can chase eachother with such oversimplifications forever.
reality is much more complicated than such simple statements. so lets not use their inflammatory nature and focus on the actual problem. which, in that case seems, that people feel disbanded by sociaty to such a degree.
The point is that the CEO wasn’t in jail for murder, was he?
What other options his victims had?
I agree, that was (supposed to be) my point, too. ‘Murder is wrong in every case, no matter the context’ is too black and white, and just sitting on a high horse and preaching won’t remedy the underlying situation. The trolley problem exists for a reason. The French revolution was supposed to be the extreme counter example to disprove OP’s stance, since most people will look at the French revolution as justified and necessary, but murder was very much part of it.
The ‘violent revolution inevitable’ quote was meant to show that it’s still a last resort, but alas, we’re apparently approaching that point.
