- GoblinSlayer 5y agoIt's not 1930s Germany, throwing a firebomb at the cop car out of hysteria is not justified.
- dredmorbius 5y agoIt somewhat weakens an absolute assertion "X is not justified" when a response 1) lists numerous current or recent instances in which X is argued as justified by a substantial groiup, and the further response 2) boils down to "now is not one of those times in which X is justified". A chief weapon of both tyrant and bully is to deny their victims and targets the right to self-defence.

- dredmorbius 5y agoThanks for providing your rationale. I reject it. NAP is an extraordinarily convenient and frequent cover for genocide, and arguably arose from just that basis.
