I have a progressively bad feeling ever since these events. I have been feeling like my sense of ethics is telling me that I am acting against it all these times. It is not religious, but I've sworn not to be the person who gives into violence before. I have felt like I have been sleepwalking into this atmosphere. But by the end of the day I never stop being a little man in a room. Seeing images like this gives me a feeling of dread, why am I losing this? Please don't show gore to me no more...i am just a guy and I have a neck too. The first thing I warned others off, the day next to this, is to NOT watch this video. It's brutal.
It's because you are a good person or at least violence averse. Plenty of folks are, there's nothing to be ashamed of in that fact.
Personally I don't get it. I see these fascistic pissants and my hand twitches, my mind hazes, and I hear the call of my ancestors and gods. I want to taste violence more now than ever, I want to go out like John Brown or his sons. But I have to restrain myself just as my ancestors have since civilization came westward and our savagery became inconvenient. But I shall restrain for now is not yet the time.
The sign of wisdom is to know ones own limits and to act accordingly. You should separate thin self from violence if it upsets you so.
