Random, brute force, or tyrannical violence destroys society. However, a society will also be destroyed if it remains passive in the face of destructive violence.
Dave Rubin is a credit to the conservative movement. He is personable, thoughtful, well-informed, and altogether an excellent spokesman for MAGA and the movement as a whole. But he’s not infallible.
I was taking a break from working on something else entirely and doing a bit of YouTubing when I came across a new video drop from Rubin, one confronting Ilhan Omar, one of the Democrat party’s many demure, high-minded, and levelheaded females. Omar was doubling down on some ghastly bilge she’d spewed out concerning Charlie Kirk: a claim that Kirk had “created his own Frankenstein” that turned on him and killed him. With her customary level of grace, she insisted that she was not going to “sit there” and be forced to honor the likes of Charlie Kirk, whose memory and ideas deserved to be tossed “into the dustbin of history.” (A direct cop from Ronald Reagan, not that Omar would have any idea who that is.)
Her tone and expression were so vicious that they aroused something of a reaction from interviewer Kaitlan Collins, who normally has all the emotional resonance of a garden gnome. (She even blinked! A couple times!) Altogether, the kind of performance you’d expect from this offspring of a war clan in a failed state.
Now, Rubin answered with the straightforward, measured tones he’s noted for, handling Omar much as we’ve grown to expect. But in the midst of it, he did make one statement all too typical of modern conservatism: “We don’t believe in violence.”
“We don’t believe in violence.” Okay. This is fine. Noble sentiments aren’t so commonplace that we should ever overlook them when they’re presented.

Well written, commonsense article.
It seems as if violence is in our DNA.

In defense of YOUR innocent LIFE, do what is necessary.
It’s called self defense.
Seems to me that not everyone means the same thing when they use the word “violence”. Like racist, fascist, phobia and perhaps other words, it’s lost its meaning, so we don’t know what people are talking about when they use it.
That is not, in my view, the Leftist of the United States.
The waive of violence on the Left is building.
The individual violent attacks is on the rise.
We already have gang raids on shops and merchants for theft.
How long until small groups begin murder and rape raids?
Anybody's guess.
When seconds count the police are only minutes away.
The common man needs to be ready to defend his home with violence.
Andea’s qualification of it is as important as the article.
