  • This is how it should be in a just world, but we do not live in one

    I agree, but if we as people do whatever the fuck we want the politicians won’t have a good example of how they’re supposed to treat people.

    and the only reason we even have basic human rights at all is because they were violently protested for, and 99% of the violence came from the state.

    We the people do have allies within the state, although there are plenty of places were those allies are kicked out as soon as they do some good, not all states are an enemy of the people. Again, i too believe we should uphold politicians to high standards and we should praise them without good reason, but the least we can do is treat them as decently as we’d like to be treated ourselves. But i guess if i was living in a place where national politics was a mess like the UK or US, i’d be less willing to defend the basterds that are breaking ‘my’ democracy too. Not judging anyone in that regard.


  • Though i’m against criminalizing protesters, i do think people who do bad things on their job also deserve a private life. If they break the law they should be brought to court obviously, but if they act within the bounds of the rule of law protest should be against the movement or the system that allows this bad individual that does the bad thing. I’ll get some downvotes for saying this, but i believe we should not only be decent to people who do things we like, but to literally everyone.
