Exposure to violence is bad. Fostering a society where violence is commonplace, bad. Exporting violence to places and people unseen, all bad.
but I’m not really sure that illegal or extra-judicial killings are always wrong. Sometimes evil people are protected or above the law. If a Russian citizen shot Vladimir Putin dead tomorrow, I’d be happy with it. I’d be happy to see a sandy hook parent kill Alex Jones, if they could do it without consequence.
It’s not that I believe that murder should be legal, Nor do I believe in capital punishment. Institutional violence is bad for the reasons I listed earlier. But, a lone gunman shooting an evil man is not institutionalized violence.

I’m celebrating the burgeoning class consciousness it has awoken in the right.
It was beautiful to see Ben Shapiro eaten alive by his own followers over the rich vs. poor divide here.

I need to see where Shabibo is getting torn up by his audience.
