Quote:
The oddity of men in tall towers claiming they aren't being violent because they didn't commit the act of violence themselves... they just closed the farm or signed the law or did the damage with a stroke of their pen... whatever tyrant they don't imagine themselves to be... always claim to be shocked and want their armies to protect them when the peasants show up with pitchforks. And try to blame their political opponents at all costs
It's odd really. We think of political violence as violence motivated by politics, but never really think of violence inflicted via politics as political violence. ANTIFA breaking some windows is somehow considered more violent than government policies that actually kill people. More tears are shed over a corporation's windows than actual deaths of actual people.
