Fiolar,

It is amazing. One main point I'd like to get across here is that cynicim and apathy about politics can have murderous results, and that compelling actions, taken as a form of expressing one's righteous anger, can have tremendously positive, constructive and far reaching political consequences.

Too many bourgeois British, like their American counterparts, tend to justify their apathy and indifference towards political violence, tyranny, and injustice, with this pacifist PC crap. They live in wealthy, comparatively free societies, where political violence and crushing poverty are largely unknown to them, and everyone they come in contact with in their daily lives.

In other words, they call well afford to be pacifists. Especially when, like English Jon, they can't be bothered with righting injustices they, as citizens of the nation who's government is responsible for those injustices--requires thinking and too difficult an effort to bring about substantial, meaningful political and social change.
