    1. Whenever violence is involved, either both sides are violent, or violence wins.

    2. When neither side is violent, violence is not the answer.

    3. Now both sides look at #1 and ponder if the other side is ready to be violent.

      I think killing people through apathetic business practices that are specifically designed to maximize profit over human life is not just murder, it’s genocide.

      I also believe that a justice system that is curtailing law for the wealthy based on some sense of increased personal worth compared to that of a “lowly commoner” goes against the fabric of our nation and is a personal attack against the culture of our country. I also believe that anyone lending support to these traitors are themselves traitorous filth that deserves to be imprisoned in a public gallows to send a message that that behavior will no longer be tolerated.

      short answer though, yes violence begets violence.

        As many people say, the horror of the Nazis wasn’t just that they killed so many people, but that they industrialized it, turned it into an inhuman factory process like they were mass-producing shoes.

        In a similar way we have modern corporations that have brought neo liberal styles to the idea of murder. Instead of the industrial style of the Nazis, this style serves to alienate the murder from the murderer, putting a price tag on deaths and profiting from the lives they’re destroying all veiled by the size of these companies and the corporate double-speak that places all the lives they have control over into their sterile profit-centered game they play.

        It’s murder for profit, don’t dilute the term genocide. The last thing we need is people calling everything genocide and making the literal genocide in Gaza seem more normal.

          idk, murdering people based on their genetic predisposition to healthy living standards seems more of a literal definition of it.

          I do understand (and agree with) your point though.
