How should we respond to oppression and shrieking lunacy?

The self-serving American Oligarchical Establishment . . .

 

. . . pretends that political violence is always bad.

 

Yet, the American public is waking up to the fact that forcibly removing some of We the People's oppressors may become a necessary thing:

 

 

A majority of Americans, 55 percent, expect political violence to increase, according to a new poll from POLITICO and Public First.

 

Younger Americans were significantly more likely than older ones to say violence can be justified. More than one in three Americans under the age of 45 agreed with that belief.

 

The POLITICO Poll, conducted after Kirk’s assassination, suggests Americans are rattled by the environment of heightened political violence — and that most still reject it: about two thirds, 64 percent, say political violence is never justified.

 

Still, a small but significant portion of the population, 24 percent, say that there are some instances where violence is justified.

Historically speaking

 

Political violence is sometimes justified.

 

Think about getting rid of Hitler. Or removing the actively machinating genociders in Israel and the United States.

 

Similarly, consider the likely violent means that will be necessary to free ourselves from the Warmongering Oligarchs — who control America and are stealing the national wealth, as well as the nation's future.

 

 

It is not just tyrants who are the problem

 

Consider the following examples of the lunacy that characterizes the Idiot Wing of America's political left:

 

 

Democratic Helena City Commissioner candidate Haley McKnight is under fire for messages left on the phone of freshman Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., in which she hopes for him to get cancer and die.

 

In her voicemail, McKnight states:

 

“Hi, this is Haley McKnight. I’m a constituent in Helena, Montana. I just wanted to let you know that you are the most insufferable kind of coward and thief. You just stripped away healthcare for 17 million Americans, and I hope you’re really proud of that. I hope that one day you get pancreatic cancer, and it spreads throughout your body so fast that they can’t even treat you for it.”

 

“I hope you die in the street like a dog. One day, you’re going to live to regret this. I hope that your children never forgive you. I hope that you are infertile. I hope that you manage to never get a boner ever again. You are the worst piece of s— I have ever, ever, ever had the misfortune of looking at … God forbid that you ever meet me on the streets because I will make you regret it. F— you. I hope you die…All that you have done since you have gotten into power is do s— for yourself.”

 

[This] comes on the day that voters are going to the polls in Virginia, where the Democratic candidate for Attorney General, Jay Jones, admitted that he previously expressed a desire to kill a political opponent and his children.

 

As a measure of the appeal of rage rhetoric, Jones remains the leading candidate in the race, with most Democrats planning to vote for him.

Hypothetically killing children as a personal political strategy?

 

That's exactly akin to Israel's rationale for killing every Palestinian.

 

Nevertheless, Jay Jones won the Virginia election for attorney general. So here's a guy who occasionally wants to kill his opponents and, apparently, their children as well — being voted into Virginia's highest law enforcement office.

 

No wonder that a substantial number of Americans think that engaging in violence might become a necessary societal defense proposition.

 

 

The moral? — With regard to the 'human condition' . . .

 

It is always a fight against oppressors and vicious lunatics.

 

Ergo, Thomas Jefferson's observation about the blood of patriots and tyrants.
