    You’ve read a lot of angry context into that that I did not provide. I think you protest too much.

    One interesting aspect of a true democracy is that once the people have sufficient, collective justification to engage in violent revolution, peaceful reform suddenly becomes not just feasible, but the preferred resolution for everyone involved. It’s a bit of a paradox.

    si vis pacem, para bellum.

      No, I read a lot of context from your angry, impotent, and violent-fantasizing post history.

      Your cute little performative Latin phrase is precisely my point.

      No one cares about your violent fantasia.

      I know, I know, “yer gonna regret saying that to me when they bring out the guillotines!”

      Dude. It’s just awkward.
