Is it okay to support Ukraine shooting Russians?

Violence is inherent in our systems. Violence is inherent in politics. States are literally founded and upheld through violence. Believing anything else is just closing your eyes to the violence that happens every single day.

I’m not denying that. I’m pointing out that we choose when it’s okay to glorify violence. Denying that this glorifies violence denies that we choose when it’s legitimate. It covers that choice up with a screen that says this is violence and that’s not violence.

  we choose when it’s legitimate
  
  I might be inferring the wrong thing here, but do you believe that human rights exist?

    Yes, it’s not an incompatible theory. The Harm principle for example is all about balancing one person’s rights with another. Or put another way, choosing when violence is legitimate.
