> What’s with the wall of text?

Because, if you'd read it, it's much more nuanced than you're making it out to be. I felt an exploration might be interesting. You clearly disagree.

> Violence isn’t justified regardless of who’s doing it.

Yes, it is. If someone comes at you with a knife, you're justified in a violent response. Period. I doubt even a pacifist monk would disagree.

Where things get more interesting is what if an oppressive system comes at you, and isn't interested in your feedback or reforms?
