    Violence is never an option! And if you think it is, you’re wrong.

    Sorry I made a mistake. English isn’t my first language. What I meant was: Violence should never be an option. And if you think it’s okay to throw a brick at a random person without provocation because you can’t distinguish between real people, abstract identity groups and news from all around the world, then you’re wrong.

      Said every oppressor while violently oppressing. See every war of independence ever. See every revolution ever.

      According to political theory, the police are the manifestation of the state’s so-called monopoly on violence. The police exist specifically to do violence to citizens of a state. Is the state wrong? Are the police wrong? There’s no wrong answer, but there can be inconsistent ones.

      The only possible responses to immediately present violence are surrender or greater violence. You cannot judge someone who chooses to respond to violence with violence – or who finds their bodies have chosen for them.

      Are you missing a /s or are you just wildly misinformed about how the world works when fascism is in full swing?

      Violence is never an option!

      Tell that to the cops who keep murdering unarmed black people.

      Violence is most certainly an option, but I don’t think it should be directed towards cops.

      It should be direct towards our puppet-masters and their offspring.
