Edit2: see the responses to this comment below. I misunderstood the above comment and shouldn’t have taken mecfs to be endorsing violence.
And that doesn’t lead you to the conclusion that the state should not be exerting power over (or committing violence on) people? You really just wrote that and said ‘yea this is a great defense of my political view’?
Edit: Welcome to the mind of a liberal - where war crimes are excusable and state violence is just how things get done.
Never did I say my political affiliation was liberalism.
As for my comment above, you could probably have concluded (rightly) that I have anarcho-primitivist tendencies. This post wasn’t meant as an apologia for liberalism but as a critique of authoritarian leftism.

Apologies for my confrontational tone and for misunderstanding you. I read your comment as a justification of violence, but I can see that it wasn’t.
I got a bit hot arguing with people defending liberalism elsewhere in this thread and forgot that isn’t actually what the post is about haha.
No worries
You could stop being triggered by a comment thread on a forum and go do something with your time.
You aren’t trapped at your keyboard. You’re doing this to yourself lmao
