I didn't make any arguements about this specific situation? Murder in general is bad

The problem is that there's no clear endpoint of that thought process. The number of people that exact thought process applies to would require a level of violence that I doubt anybody sane wants.

Edit: to be more precise here. I'm leery about trying to apply the logic of individual self-defense to broader questions about social murder. The entire system is complicit, but if we go to burn the system down without a replacement ready we'll end up sorrounded by nothing but ash and corpses

I agree is justified in many situations, the French revolution ain't a good example for that, namely that it didn't work in the long run with all the Napoleon-ing. The people most adept at violence, who will be most empowered by violence as normalized political tactic mostly don't promote the interests of most people if they get into power. Napoleon and such

also every time there's been prominent "propaganda of the deed" it's backfired by inciting a HUGE state crackdown, Tsar Alexander II and William Mckinley come to mind ~~though both were relative reformers, which would make this about target selection and not alienating potential allies rather than the use of the tactic in general~~

murder is in general bad, fed-posting is inadvisable

also there's a broader boring argument about the dangers of violence being normalized as means of political change, but those arguments are boring

For some reason the thing that sticks out to me most here is the fact that the packing plant is owned by a company out of Oklahoma and that the Janitorial contractor hasn't just been fined before, it's be fined before in multiple states and has operations stretching from nw Iowa to VIRGINA

These links are closer to what you probably intended

these are about nursing home policy not the Libertarian ballot issues though

[–] UnkTheUnk@midwest.social 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

are you sure you've got the link you meant to add to this? because that link goes to one on UK politics

Why the Bolshevik leadership bent over backward to protect Stalin here is beyond me

It's true though, Every place in the US has it's own unique flavor of absolute hogshit

I don't get what's objectionable about this take, it's not even defending any particular aspect of the US or taking a "but I'm not like them" stance.

Fascists think they do

I can't really imagine danger being particularly extreme for anyone other than trans people, for trans folk updating passports is likely a good idea. But keep in mind that blue states would still be relatively safe.

If shit truly gets to the point where it's death squads and fascist street gangs, realistically there would not be anywhere in the world that would be safe.
