i mean, right now the question isn't 'violence' it's 'against whom'. we fucked up all the futures that weren't a river of blood. the fascism, the horrors, the manufactured consent and insane obedience. the question isn't "river of blood or not" it's "whose, and how deep?"
I personally would prefer as little as possible and none of it mine, but apparently wars where millions of conscripts die are more ethical than the assassinations of the couple dozen leaders that start them and manufacture consent to keep them going. letting people be disappeared is more ethical than stopping it. letting people die of poverty on the street is more ethical than breaking the locks on dumpsters to feed them, or putting them in vacant/airBNB'd houses.
silver lining: it is at least gonna be really fucking metal. so we've got at least that to look forward to.
