How so exactly? Do you think that the fact that people in russia, for example, can vote is far from them not being allowed to vote?
- Planktonne 5mo agoI wouldn't have a moral problem with people in Russia engaging in violent resistance.
- scotty79 5mo agoHow about US? It's just one step removed. Or maybe half a step?
- Planktonne 5mo ago1. It feels like you're trying to walk me into some imagined rhetorical trap; if that's the case, feel free to speed up. 2. It's completely possible that justified violence could happen in the US; it would, as anywhere, depend on what violence by who for what reason, but there's nothing that makes the US special in this regard. In the past, on multiple occasions (resistance to slavery, for example), political violence in the cause of freedom has occurred, and I don't think that was immoral.
- scotty79 5mo agoSorry. I was just curious about your response. Thanks.
- Planktonne 5mo agoForgive me; I was overly touchy.
