In 2014 political activists in Taiwan occupied the legislative yuan (something like congress or parliament). No one was killed.
My position is shooting and killing an unarmed protestor entering a government building is abhorrent, full stop. Doesn't matter if you disagree or agree with their motives.
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoMy position is that it is good that most people are capable of employing more nuance than your position (accounting for violent insurrection, for example), and do so
- LAC-Tech 4y agoNuance is a very weaselly way of saying "it's a peaceful protest when people I like do it, it's violent insurrection when people I don't do it".
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agothat's just a longer, more weaseley, and oddly-specific way of saying "nuance", as in, "people capable of nuance can usually differentiate between a protest and an insurrection"
