Ever wondered how countries are founded?
By overthrowing the previous country.
I’m not saying to do it, but the founders of nearly every country thought violence was the answer.
🤷♂️ Who am I to argue?

As one of the suicide bombers in Cory Doctorow’s Radicalized – which coincidentally also explores the idea of ppl getting violently sick with medical insurance providers saying “tnx for the money, now die” – said, violence is never the answer, as long as you ignore all the fucking human history.
All of human societal structure has ultimately boiled down to might makes right.
All of it.
In our modern civilization we have inserted enough extra steps in between to delude most people into believing that this is no longer the case. But still it is. I have said this nearly verbatim on here before:
Who are the cops? Just guys with guns.
Who are judges? Just guys with access to cops.
Who are politicians? Just guys with access to cops and judges.
Who are the megacorporations? Just guys with access to politicians.
Etc.
I have a sticker ion my locker that states “violence is always an option”. Never fails to raise eyebrows.
Kyle Rittenhouse has entered the chat!
It’s the final solution.
🤨 Phrasing…
Love this. Definitely gonna get removed though

violence isn’t the answer. it’s the question, and the answer is YES
