No it's ok because they always say it has no place in the United States Palestine is a-ok!

And Yemen of course. Where Israel bombed the entire cabinet last week

Political violence is a trademark of the Coca-Cola company ffs nobody gives a shit about intellectual property anymore

Right on the money.

More money.

That last one almost makes it seem like non-political violence is OK?

Where are these liberals? I'm only seeing celebrations or "I don't condone but in this case I don't care either" for the fascist getting shot.

Or were you hearing them condemn gun violence for the school shooting that also occurred today?

I've seen a lot of posts condemning political violence. Newsom, Bernie, Harris, Waltz, AOC.

I haven't seen any of them praising the assassination of Palestinians though.

Agreed, at best this is confirmation bias at play

Then there must be some mismatch between what actual liberal leaders are saying, and their followers.

Pretty sure we saw that with Luigi too

I pray for the safety of the Luigi's in our world. They gave us hope that we lost in politicians.

Words can be weapons as well. Not all who slay beasts do so with metal.

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

Usually both are necessary, and relying only on words and not on actual organizing and coherent force ends up costing far more human lives than just committing to revolution. Non-violence just means your enemies get to use violence on you unopposed.

"Womp womp" - Some republican, mocking the suffering of others on fox news

I think the above quote sums up the world's reaction pretty nicely

[–] Eat_Your_Paisley@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think we should issue dueling pistols to politicians if you have a disagreement, settle it at 12 paces.
