Oh god I fucking hate that whole strain of calling any problem they don’t want to confront “nuanced” or “complex”. It’s not complex, you just don’t want to admit that you’re the kind of person who’s fine with letting others suffer

God yes it pisses me off to no end. I often think about how invisible state violence is to half the chucklefucks.

Like chemical weapons, torture devices, beating, cages, screaming, and hitting. These things are used to stop someone taking surplus, discarded food from a bin but if that person says enough. If that person says "No, I will not suffer and die in indignity. I will kill you, you who would kill me" and like beats some cop to death or the person who would call the cops on them. They're the violent party? Really? The person that was content to subsist off of literal garbage if it meant peace.

No. Fuck that. We have tried asking nicely, I will always maintain that forgiveness be offered if people seek to change but when people horde wealth and use the machinery of law to deprive people of the necessities of life. Things they would often not even notice being gone. Yes I am willing to hurt them, and yes I am willing to accept that mistakes will happen as we try and halt this horrible orphan crushing machine.

What is the alternative? Children are dying. What good are ideals if they would have you sit by and do nothing while children are dying.

A revolution is a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it has to be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous.

IMO it's a sound argument (disabled people who need medications will struggle to get that medicine during a revolutionary war) but it's not valid, because disabled workers are socially murdered under capitalism, unless they are lucky enough to have family or other people around them to support them.
