Voting is the proper way to overthrown the government. The other ways are more violent.

What about when the "proper" way doesn't work?

Nothing wrong violence as a last resort. Especially in reply to violence used against you.

[-] Case@unilem.org 2 points 1 year ago

I'm not a violent person. I abhor it honestly.

That being said, actual self defense is always valid.

That's why I train and carry.

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yep. Pacifism without an exception for self defense is just suicide to me.

That's what happens when you don't vote hard enough and let a crooked government come into power!
