In reply to the discussion: "Sorry Liberals, A Violent Response To Trump Is As Logical As Any" [View all]ImLiberalNotLeftist
(24 posts)This article was the reason I went from forum lurker to registered account and was the inspiration for my name. Responding with violence to conflicting political ideology is neither logical nor is it in keeping with true liberal ideals. To restate, Jesse Benn is not a liberal no matter how much he thinks he might be. He is a radical who has let his emotion get the better of him. If he thinks the use of violence against Trump supporters is justified them by that laughably flawed "logic" Omar Mateen's abhorrent acts against those he disagreed with were also "justified". Of course we all know this is simply not the case and so for that reason I judge Jesse Benn to be wrong, his assertion that violence is a representation of liberalism to be wrong, and would challenge him to correct and apologize for his hateful statement.
You cant use hate as a means to justify the opposition of hate. Its as hypocritical as it is wrong.
