tentative processing rambling about today's events
#maybe aim for bigger fish ????#this won't have the same galvanizing effect as luigi#But also I'm thinking would I also be feeling this way if it were u.s. ambassadors in a foreign country?#I guess it depends on which country they're hypothetical ambassadors to#maybe maybe possibly those two were trying to fight genocide from the inside#but either way people continue to prove that they're generally very okay with murder as long as they don't have to see it#people really think that the systems we live in aren't inherently violent#and that this is some kind of exceptional unjustifiable occurrence#even if the ethics of it are murky#still trying to figure out the ethics of a hypothetical violent second rev war in general#I think maybe we'd need to reach a point where the most vulnerable have had federal support completely withdrawn from them anyway#(which... we are inching closer to)#before we can justify attacking the stability of the gov vulnerable people are forced to depend on to NOT die#I have no idea if at the end of these four years if anything of that systemic safety net will be salvageable#but we'll see I guess#in terms of palestine#violence against the aggressor (not civilians)#(and they count as aggressors imo. they're representatives of the state and likely took part in securing u.s. funding for the genocide)#is always going to be understandable but not always pragmatic for the cause#we've had at least two people self immolate#and not even directing the violence inward has gotten lawmakers' attention#it's become increasingly clear they value no lives but their own#and are allowing the rule of law to be actively dismantled#obligatory jfk quote about inevitable violence#idk man maybe I've been radicalized and the worth of souls is great and all that#but. once again. these people are the aggressors. the perpetrators. actively choosing to be responsible for civilian deaths#even if they aren't 'active combatants' they are 99% likely actively choosing to make complicity in genocide their career#would I have targeted these specific people in response? no. and the practical consequences make it unjustifiable#but in this dire of circumstances violence is at the very least always adjacent to self-defense#the decorum of mourning and wailing over these two randos is so freaking asinine when 50+ nameless gazan children are murdered per day
