"eat the rich" and "grab the guillotine" can be seen as having the same vibe ("all “undesirables” to be murdered"). Maybe violence shouldn't be the answer for either side, or maybe it is the answer for one side. I'm not going to advocate for it here, but I will say, we are a larger crowd... maybe don't fuck with us?
There is a world of difference between evil people doing violence to innocent people who just want to live their lives, and doing violence to those evil people in order to protect the innocent
Yes. But people are people. Just like not all us poors are innocent, not all them richs are evil. "eat the rich", for example, sets a presence of blanketed violence that we will never be able to escape. Preemptively killing someone because they might do evil isn't really any difference in end result to where we are now. The "undesirables", as they've been stated earlier, are not all innocent, and the USA government is kicking all of them out, because some of them might be evil (same as killing all the rich, because some of them are evil). I'm all for protecting the innocent, but the cost for doing so cannot be to kill other innocents. I don't have answers, only criticisms, which is one reason I never got into politics. And, in case it wasn't clear, these concentration camps they're proposing are abysmal, evil, and likely illegal (like that ever stopped them before).
That's how the french revolution went. Not a great outcome in the short term for most people involved. Violence, no matter how justified, has a tentency to spin out of control.
