I don't know if violence can solve our problems or not, but I can guarantee that not changing anything, and maintaining the status quo, absolutely will NOT solve our problems, in healthcare or otherwise.
I thought in Gandhi's case what he preached was to just not cooperate with the British occupation and let it collapse under its own weight, which is kind of its own or else. Where can I learn more about the violent revolutionaries?
Dunno about the Ghandi situation, but a book that talks about how unions were forced into violence to get their pay from thieving industrial barons, among other examples of violence being the only way people claw back what they're owed from the ruling class is A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn.
I like that even the doctors and professionals they found to interview for the story went out of their way to point out that yes, of course violence isn't a good thing and this probably isn't the way, but he's been hurting people left and right, and they see it every day, and they're glad he's dead, and so is everyone they know.
The status quo is violent.
Murdering people with a pen is still murdering people.
Biden in 2020, Harris in 2024: "Nothing will fundamentally change if you vote for us!"
Obama ("Change you can believe in"): Come on, you know why you are having such trouble at the ballot box
And even if it doesn't solve the problem it at least makes people feel a bit better about it.
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
How is this an escalation? It's just one murder.
Violence is on their side lol
It will.
