I'm one of those people: I submit that throwing a brick through the back of a bus window is ethically superior to voting or circulating a petition. Please skim

- keithpeter 13y agoI did have a look at your submission history, thanks, some nice reading there. Quote from OA "...one in ten mortgages was foreclosed in San Pablo. At the same time San Francisco’s rate of foreclosure was a mere 2 percent." Those rates are huge! At the worst of the recession, we hit about one per 300 in the UK, and that was considered bad enough for urgent action to support arrears and find ways for people to restructure their debt.

- raldi 13y agoI'm curious about the rest of your moral framework. How would you sort the following list, in order of increasing ethical superiority? Voting Circulating a petition Doing nothing Throwing a brick through a bus window Sending death threats Spraypainting "[ethnicity] GO HOME" on someone's house Leaving a burning cross on their lawn
- walshemj 13y agoThe BNP in the UK and golden dawn in Greece also believe in direct violent action against the minorities they disprove of so thats ok then?
- kika 13y agoHm, what about lynching a couple of Google engineers? Ethically superior or inferior? If inferior, then why? I'm actually genuinely interested though may sound sarcastic - I'm very curious where people like you draw the line between "good" violence and "bad" violence.
