Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged

Of course.
But speaking practically it makes no sense in the context of that conversation to be talking about the justification going on inside someone's own head.
If that's the case every action is justified.

So what? All justification is subjective anyway. I know this is going to sound "dopey" to you, but "inside someone's head" is exactly where the justification happens. And even more shockingly, just because someone takes what they consider to be a justified action, you aren't compelled to agree with them! Can you imagine that?!

This subjectivity thing ... you've really got to check it out, little buddy. It's some crazy shit, dude.

No I do know what you mean.
I agree it's subjective.

What I'm saying is that in the practical use of the word what is the use in saying something is justified in their own mind?

If I say Hitler's actions against the Jews are justifiable it's reasonable for someone to assume that I mean that I think they are right because of certain reasons.

Saying someone's actions are justified in their own mind means nothing because every action that isn't involuntary must be justified in their own mind.
It renders the word useless. It's a peice of useless information.
Me slapping someone around the head was justified. Why? Because at the time I myself considered it to be justified because I found it entertaining and valued my own entertainment more than the persons well being who I slapped.
