Yes, I do want him gone (by any means necessary), but that’s not why I was agreeing. I agreed with Kevin, because history suggests that sustainable solutions to problems, whether personal, social, or political, come from understanding, dialogue, and cooperation — meaning that non-violent approaches, like diplomacy, negotiation, and civil resistance, have shown the potential to resolve conflicts more effectively and ethically in the long run.

But there are situations where violence is argued as necessary — self-defense, defense of others, and then there’s also liberation, and other reasons behind it. The bottom line is that it’s sometimes necessary, particularly in self-defense or to prevent greater harm. I just think it should be a last resort, with careful consideration of the long-term consequences and potential alternatives. So, it’s not a matter of if you agree with it or not, but whether it aligns with the values and goals you seek to uphold.
