"There is actually no difference between good things and bad things."
I used to be someone who thought "if you accept violence as ok in some cases, who gets to decide which cases are 'ok'?
Then, thanks to some encouragement and bullying from leftists, I came to accept that bad people don't adhere to principles anyway, and also that objectivism--essentially--fails miserably as a moral philosophy. It's ok to punch Nazis because Nazis are bad people. It's not ok to punch good people. Who decides what's bad or good? Everyone does, constantly. That's already how it works. We are never going to live in a punch-free society. So we should stop with the "violence is bad" bullshit and focus on trying to get the power to ensure that WE have a monopoly on violence. because we're good and they're not. why? because we fuckin are. no point in trying to debate whether, say, trans rights are good or not. I say they are, and if you disagree, then be ready to fight.
I love how liberals believe you need a carefully curated mind palace of ethical takes and explanations for every single situation that could ever happen. Except you don't need that and no one had ever had that, including liberals because even they don't believe it.
It's somehow a virtue to be completely consistent and pretend there's some kind of third-party standard to compare our behavior to.
Who decides what’s bad or good? Everyone does, constantly. That’s already how it works.
I love this and I'm going to steal it. I'm tired of being asked to have morals based on pretend utopia.
Note, of course, that all the "violence" being discussed is hypothetical because The Left doesn't actually have the capacity for organized violence. So it's libs getting extremely mad at a communist they made up in their head.

But stealing is WRONG
