Sign On to Reject All Political Violence

[ll74]

This thread is meant to affirm your commitment to reject all political violence.

You should post here to affirm your commitment to this. If you post here to rationalize or attack someone else, all others should ignore your post.

 

[ll74]

I reject, without qualifications, political violence.

 

[Bray123]

It has never occurred to me to inflict violence on someone for political reasons and it's without saying really that I reject it.

When those who espouse political violence become subject to it, I reject their whines.

 

[Hotcoffee123]

Without question.. also I wanna know what I can do to make things better

You seem concerned. You must actually think the Kirk assination could turn into a tipping point.

Read the thread OP and commit or reject.

Thanks

Yeah, but no.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with what you're saying, but seeing as how you pass yourself off as democratic leaning (correct me with I'm wrong) then this comes off as lecturing the choir. Has Jesse Watters been disciplined like Matthew Dowd? There are posters here documenting a running list and espousing firing anyone critical of Kirk's death in addition to a recent thread indicating a congressman wanting to impose the government over 1A rights.
I don't think I or any democratic congressman needs to start off saying these as a caveat to calling out political violence. Tighten up your intentions to whom this call falls on deaf ears to.

 

[ll74]

Yeah, but no.

Rationalizing your position is not what this thread is about.

You said you don't and that's all that you need to say. I don't give a fuck why.

You got my answer and a lot more, deal with it. You did not make any extra comment to hotcoffe who actually asked a question at the end so I too could give a rats fuck what you think about my expanded commentary.

This thread and $6.37 will get you a pound of ground beef…

Karma’s gonna deliver karmic fates, and lightning is gonna strike lightning rods…

Yes, you have openly have suggested that violence is something you'd consider in response to your political views.

And that's my fault

So do you reject political violence or not?

 

[Lazaran]

Karma, the laws of nature, and Honey Badger don’t give a fuck…



We. Told. Them. So.

So you refuse to reject political violence.
Got it.

Great question, HotCoffee
One of the ways is staying mindful of disinformation, selective use of facts and conspiracy theories - e.g, Trump’s claims about the 2020 election - when they enter mainstream politics
Staying calm and challenging them discreetly, inviting the person who might be fooled by them to consider the reality - never becoming hostile, just helping them understand - can be powerful - some are genuinely misled
Also, in my view, not giving air to those who deliberately and knowingly stoke hate and disinformation - much as I admire the efforts of Il74 and others, I think it simply reinforces silos
There are also various organizations you can get involved with if you want to do more, feel free to let me know

 

[AnomalyLady]

I reject political violence.

Everyone should be able to use their voice to say what they would like without fear of death. Free speech is a hallmark of the United States, let's keep it that way.

Again, your answer is no.

You have a difficult time saying it directly, even though the answer is binary.

You do
Or
You don't.

If you qualify your answer, then you don't.

 

[MiaBabe23]

I think another approach would be, do you reject violence? Some violence is partially political, some is assumed political and isn’t, and vice versa
Starting with a question that only trolls would say yes to changes the mindset

This thread isn't a group to help people. It's literally just a statement of commitment against political violence. I do suggest others create threads adjacent to this topic to discuss such things, but that isn't this one.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun.

Political violence is inherent in the maintenance of any government.

The meek will NOT inherit the earth. They will simply become the slaves of those who are not meek.

So, nope. I will openly disagree. Without any qualifiers.

Yeah, I don’t take options off the table…

I can do nice…

I can do not nice…

I prefer to do nice…but…

Thanks for being very direct in your answer.

Why can't you just give a direct answer? Chloe had no issue there.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Thanks for being very direct in your answer.

You're welcome. I was pretty sure you were looking for a direct answer and not a debate or rationalization. Happy to debate the philosopy of this on another thread.
