    You’re taking statements like “Violence is sometimes the answer” and twisting that to mean “Violence is [often / always] the answer”

    No, I’m stating that my opinion is that it is never the answer. People have have had comments here removed by the mods for “advocating violence.” So obviously some things about violence have been said that others have felt the need to remove.

    trying to paint your view as the moral high ground

    No, I gave my opinion.

    Let me wrap this up, so we can move on. I don’t care if every single Lemmy poster on the planet earth replies that they think violence is the answer or it’s sometimes the answer or it’s rarely the answer, and then downvotes me to oblivion. I don’t think violence is ever the answer.

    No matter the hitler, knife, nuke bomb, dinosaur time machine, black hole travels to every bad time period etc scenario. I’m not going to change my mind. You aren’t either. That’s fine. You’re free to your opinion, as I am to mine.

    I’m not upset about this conversation at all and I don’t think anyone should be. But it’s getting boring because it’s just going in circles now. It’s Lemmy, it’s not real life.

    I’ve made my point very clear several times, so I won’t be answering any more questions or replying to direct replies in this thread any longer. It’s just going in circles now. Plenty of other things I wanna talk about. Good luck on your journey.
