        Legitimately had someone compare defacing a Trump sign to firebombing an Elementary School, saying “we are better than them” lmao

    Poverty is violence. Poverty is a policy choice.

      They certainly made the GOP start caring about gun control if nothing else… They were also damn good with message discipline, and (unless I’m mistaken), did some great mutual aid.

        They were also Marxist-Leninists and supportive of AES.

    At this point monopoly of violence by the state would be an improvement

    Also sounds like America’s favorite hobby is back: shooting presidents.

    Was there any previous attempts of murder without shooting? And if anyone has statistics of assassinations in other countries by guns vs something else I’d be curious to see. Except Fidel, that’s going to take too long and skew the numbers 🤣🤣🤣

      I don’t think the new assassination fad is especially productive, but a complete state monopoly on violence would definitely not be an improvement. Trump can take a few bullets, it doesn’t matter.

        I was more referring to what happens when someone gets doxxed or school violence or civilians hating immigrants.

    So you’re saying those examples should be part of politics?

      I believe the idea is that the person saying that is clearly a hypocrite who has no grounds for their decrying of violence when they support so much of it, and possibly that retaliatory violence in self-defense is therefore justified.
