That's not what I said either. But adopting tactics and strategies that preserve everyone's liberty with the minimum amount of violence, and hopefully none at all should be everyone's goal.
I hope you don't think that encouraging violence in the pursuit of liberty when other options exist is a good idea.
“But adopting tactics and strategies that preserve everyone’s liberty with the minimum amount of violence, and hopefully none at all should be everyone’s goal.”
That would be ideal. However, what people are really, really good at, better than anything, is getting things wrong. For instance, we could have ended slavery without a civil war, and we should have jumped on Hitler in the thirties.
“I hope you don’t think that encouraging violence in the pursuit of liberty when other options exist is a good idea.”
The trick lies in knowing whether other options actually exist. Neville Chamberlain was wrong, and Winston Churchill was right, but everybody went with Chamberlain until it was too late to avoid WWII.
Because the forces of evil have imported many pigdog murder-muzzies into our country, and we have been too pusillanimous to expel them, many of us, and our children and grandchildren, will be murdered at their hands.
Don’t believe it? Hide and watch.
“...all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.” We don’t act too early; we have a tendency to wait until violence is forced upon us, and it costs us many lives.
