The people fantasizing about violence are usually the first to run when the war breaks out. If someone uses violence to further their goals, they are a terrorist and case closed.
The problem is that every one has different views of what the ship going north means. If you permit violence, then many groups will use it…don’t be surprised when some religious extremists use it because “they’re killing babies!”
- fisf 3y agoThat some goals are 'easier' accomplished by violence, is nothing you need to point for religious (and other) extremists. They are well aware of that tool in their box. It's also something politicians are well aware of (or at least have been reminded about recently). We don't have to fantasize about violence. But even in our relatively safe, civil societies, we should be aware of it, and not categorically discard it as aboherent in all case.
