Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged
#75
RE: Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged
Just to clear up my opinion on the various things spoke about up to now.

If what you originally meant is that the protesters actions are justifiable.....to someone somewhere at some point in time.

I agree.

I've already stated that I think it's wrong to put mertit to the fact someone is willing to die for a cause.
So on the basis I think it's wrong on principle to put merit that an individual is willing to die.
By extension I have no reason not to extend that principle to groups of people.

And when I'm speaking I'm speaking universally.
About all groups of people.
yes I am speaking about cults and mentally unhinged people because they exist.
Because they exist is the reason why I can't say that a person or groups cause has more merit if they're willing to die for that cause.

It would be hypocritical of me to say one groups cause has merit, the reason being because they're willing to die for that cause, but not this other group.
I might be able to find other reasons to agree with that groups cause but that reason can't be because they're willing to die.
If I'm being honest I can't speak hypocritically I have to be universal.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
