@nm thanks for sharing. i skimmed your text:
> A philosophy against suffering cannot [...] build liberation through cruelty or peace through domination. If it does, then whatever purity it once had is gone.
without speaking about the specific incident, that made you write this post, i think there is a problem with this purity culture of #nonviolence. internally or externally, it pushes everyone to condemn the kirk shooter, to condemn hamas, and – as #MargaretKilljoy did repeatedly on her #podcast – to condemn animal liberation protesters. i'll link to that last one (as an example of what i dislike, even though it's by self-described "vegan" "anarchist" )
but — !
#racism is #politicalviolence.
#zionism is #politicalviolence.
#speciecism is #politicalviolence.
and all of these oppressive ideologies have killed and are killing disproportionately many
more people.if we condemn these acts of so-called #politicalviolence towards oppressors and demand "peace", let's be careful that we're not asking for that #negativepeace, which #MLK describes all to clearly in his #LetterFromBirminghamJail.

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@susurros/116477625689935422
We have a formal, collective obligation under international law to intervene to prevent the crime of #genocide
When our societies consistently & repeatedly FAIL TO MEET that formal obligation (instead, in fact, serving enthusiastically as #GenocidesBodyguards), I would have to acknowledge some legitimacy to an argument that individuals who recognize that failure inherit an obligation to act to do so themselves.
When that action escalates to violence against persons who are noncombatants (a.k.a., terrorism) it is rightly viewed to have crossed a line to which extra criminal penalties should attach--although the individuals may be happy TO ACCEPT those penalties owing to the moral weight attached to their obligation.
But in cases like this, where that action escalates solely to violence AGAINST PROPERTY, our American tradition of protest has typically balanced the need for the law to recognize that a crime has occurred WITH some weight given, in mitigation, to a credible argument that the violence was committed to strike a blow against injustice, when mere speech has long gone unheard by the oppressor (e.g., rioting during the Civil Rights movement, as recognized by #MLK in his speech, "The Other America").
I would suggest that this is the standard that justice demands be applied here--and emphatically NOT the one that INCREASES penalties in crimes against persons.
