[Serious] Violence, what violence?
#3
RE: Violence, what violence?
Makes sense, if I'm honest. Looking over conservative policies (at least from what I remember), their solutions for the problems society faces tend to fit into three categories. The first two are: commit more violence (terrorism, oil, police brutality), increasing punishment (abortion, drugs, crime in general). And the last category seems to be to ask "Why the fuck is this supposed to be a problem?" (COVID, mass shootings, income inequality, systemic racism). Fixing underlying social problems that cause these issues (beyond pleading for people to go back to their bullshit idea of the Good Old Days) seems to be a foreign concept to them. And exercising compassion towards people who aren't obscenely rich? What kind of fuckery is that?

When their solutions to everything boil down to either not giving a shit about the issue at hand or hurting/punishing "offenders" more, it'd be more surprising if they weren't more inclined to think violence is the answer.
