The ends justify the means. Not a moral statement on 'doing whatever it takes' - it is meaningless to win when the victors are no different from the victims.

Rather, an observation on the nature of what it is to be justified or vilified.

The ones at the end decide. When it is happening, it is never justified. It is never tolerated. It is vilified. It is criminal. The means are always painted as extremes.

Something new can only ever be justified when you reach the end. Until then, it - literally - is radical.

To the present, you're just a person stirring up trouble. Could be good, could be bad, but either way, it's trouble.

You can only ever be a hero to history.

riots are not a valid form of protest unless all peaceful means have failed, and then they are far less effective than other non-peaceful methods. riots are what you do when you are too stupid to find a solution.

Right, and protests will make trump think twice? You realise that trump is not the mastermind right

Well that can't be right because I read on here that liberals are the worst.

So you're saying someone should do it?

Is there some reason this looks like a photocopy of a faxed photocopy? And no alt text or link to source: is OP just trying to break accessibility out of perverse joy? I wonder what they did to OP to deserve that.
