    Would you say the same about the civil war to end slavery? It’s not always as simple as “violence = terrorism & bad” as you make it or to be

      The Civil War was STARTED BY THE SLAVERS because the peaceful democracy was ABOLISHING SLAVERY WITH LEGISLATION.

        And was it wrong to respond with violence back?

        Take another example then, if you’d prefer. Was it wrong for anti-fascists to be violent against nazi Germany in the pre-war period?

          The only people committing the loosest possible definition of violence on people with medical debt are voters.

          This problem was created by the US Citizens because they vote conservative.
