Political violence IS bad, but for the same reason that violating a truce is bad. It's not always because the shot is unwarranted, but because of what the shot leads to. "You can't always give people what they deserve" kind of energy.

Sometimes there's no other reasonable choice, but normalizing or condoning it means opening up... well, open conflict. And you need to be pretty goddamn sure that there's no other viable option before you do that, unless you enjoy widespread devastation and the deaths of thousands of people at minimum, in which case you've been reading the Doctrine of Fascism's musings on struggle and need to go home and rethink your life.

I've literally just been told we can't call someone a fascist and then say not to kill them in the same breathe. That's the facts.

I guess this is how all these dumb 'polite society' rules are thought up.
