      That would be a large portion of the country. Last I checked, I don’t know of many, if any, politicians who voted “No!” when the time came. So unless I’m mistaken and some did, you’d be polluting the ocean and because the average American is like 300lbs ( source: I made it the fuck up ), we’d just end up damming it up and causing devastation.

        Social contract. I leave people alone until they mess with me. They messed with me and won’t leave me or anyone else alone.

          IMO the capitalists, the politicians, and the cops broke whatever social contract ever existed. Your neighbors, as much assholes as they might be, whatever box they ticked on the ballot box, were caught up in the breakage. You don’t have to like them, hell you don’t even need to forgive them, but please understand that it is the systems that need to be destroyed. And if we have to destroy any people, let them be the monsters who drive the system (capitalists and politicians) and the people who inflict that violence upon us (cops, ICE).

        Just in case anybody has doubts, I gave an unserious answer to an unserious question. It was mostly just a turn of phrase.

        I believe that violence should basically only be used to stop violence.
