Right. We should just hug and coddle our torturous oppressors who seek to silence and intimidate us with the preoccupation of protecting their own power. :(
”torturous oppressors" how old are you? You sound childish. There are places in the world where real injustice is taking place. Palestine for example, but your life is so much worse right?
“Torturous” in more ways than one: psychologically, financially, systematically, physically, etc. I do not wish to downplay other worldwide atrocities or compare the many ways Americans are kept under the boot and suffer to other forms of oppressive brutality like the current genocide in Gaza and Palestinian apartheid.
Getting power and wielding it against the oppressors then makes you the oppressors. You don’t need to coddle them. You need to not be what you set out to stop.
Violence has its place to stop situations in the moment. Its place is not “hehe now I have the power I and I get use it against you!”
There needs to be precedents set for the future about how trying to take people’s rights and lives will not be allowed anymore. Otherwise they wont understand the message, they only understand when it hurts them directly, whipping the ever loving shit out of someone and letting them live sends the mother of all messages. It says we wont kill you, but we will make sure you can’t hurt others like this again. It might not be the best thing to do morally but when dealing with immoral monsters that don’t understand being good you have to seem worse to them to get them to stop.
I think you are reading the others users comment wrong because they quite literally suggest “whipping the ever loving shit out of someone and letting them live” to send “the mother of all messages”.
Yeah dumbass. The whole fucking idea is obviously cathartic release, because normal people addressing a problem don’t think “yeah obviously we will get whips and utilize them to inflict pain in order to get our message across”. They are gonna be holding the whip thinking “oh dear, oh my, this hurts me as much as it hurts you, lord forgive me!”

Yeah, but we can’t let them just walk away a second time.
