Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged
RE: Nonviolent Protest and Resistance Privileged

I've just returned and tried to follow the discussion going on here and most of it turns on this absolutely stupid and ridiculous comment.
I've seen the worst kind of logic and crazy semantics in attempting to justify this ridiculous comment and I feel sympathy for paulpablo having to deal with this and I commend him on staying focused and avoiding getting angry in the face of such nonsense.
 
I avoid insults and profanity as much as I can but I have to ask just what the fuck is going through some of your minds??? 
 
The problem for some of you is that when you hear such a stupid comment as above, you have a specific cause in mind for which you feel violence is justified. You then defend the stupid comment as though you are defending the cause in in mind rather than the false logic of the stupid statement. You’ve made a mistake which can be exposed as follows:
 
Nazis were willing to trade their lives for change… Nazis causes are therefore justifiable. This you tell me is a perfectly reasonable position and that you will continue to defend it? WTF???
 
Please grow up and just retract an obviously false statement that was made in the heat of “battle”.  Why can’t you just admit that you made a mistake? Why can't you ever concede a single solitary point no matter how dumb? No one will think less of you.
If god was real he wouldn't need middle men to explain his wants or do his bidding.
