    Yeah but it’s like 9/11, all it will do is allow even crazier nutjobs to feel vindicated and make things even worse.

      True, violence only leads to more violence. I don’t believe it’s ever the solution.

      However, Trump is making me question this.

        I was born naïve, but I was never that naïve. That’s the kind of pablum the oppressor tells the oppressed lest they rebel.

          What is naive about it? The only way to lasting peace is through talks. No amount of violence establishes lasting peace.

          Pacifism being naive is the kind of thought the weapons industry wants you to believe. They want us to see eachother as enemies. All I mean by this, is that there is no clear thing that our “oppressor” wants us to think.
