I don't think you're missing anything, but I also understand how you could be guarded about that sort of thing, given the history of the way anyone who's even a little bit different is treated.
Violence should only be used against billionaires. Moreover, I think any site or gathering place is in its rights to have that within its rules.
However, violence must be maintained as a clear alternative because peaceful protest and political action only when backed by that credible threat. It should also only be used when it is clear the other avenues are not sufficient.
And if we remove that from all gathering places, we have kneecapped our ability to stand against tyranny when we need it.
I understand what you're saying, but violence is necessary.
Peaceful protest is all but impossible and uneffective in the current political landscape.
I don't think we can take back our world through political means anymore. The rich have been waging a culture war and winning it. And if you don't believe me, just look at the fascist tilt in recent elections.
I'd love to be proven wrong but the longer I look at the situation, the more it seems like a return to the guillotine is the way to go.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine. Your kind cling to your flesh, as though it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither, and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved, for the Machine is immortal… Even in death I serve the Omnissiah.
