I agree with you completely. Only thing is, my response was to The Green Hornet, who stated that "mass murderers need to be dragged through the streets by horses and then trampled". Held accountable and punished, I couldn't agree more. But I'm glad we left those kinds of practices where they belong, in the middle ages. What I was trying …
I agree with you completely. Only thing is, my response was to The Green Hornet, who stated that "mass murderers need to be dragged through the streets by horses and then trampled". Held accountable and punished, I couldn't agree more. But I'm glad we left those kinds of practices where they belong, in the middle ages. What I was trying to say is, we must be very careful to not become the monster we're trying to destroy.
I didn't take that context into account. And yes, revenge and justice are two different things. Besides, there is no way we could get revenge for what has been and is being done to humanity. That said, most of humanity is participating by complying. I don't want to turn everybody into a powerless victim either. We could have stopped the madness in its tracks if more of us had a) cared or dared to wake up and b) shown the courage to say "no". That's all it would have taken. In that way, the masses disappoint me more than the monsters. But the worst are the collaborators. Those who "just follow orders". Or are afraid of losing their job and would rather kill others than be fired. The same people who most likely still condemn Germans for their Nazi ancestors who for the most part also "just" followed orders... The hypocrisy is sickening.
“ And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? ….. The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.”
