No Mate!
I am arguing about the political retards who think that revolution and/or violent direct action are a justifiable political tool, and advocate their use on the streets of MY country.
Look at history and tell me where you see benefits derived from violence that could not have been improved upon with sensible debate.
Democracy won at the point of a gun is valueless, because the resentments remain, and sooner or later ignite more violence.
Had the Western allies treated Germany less harshly in 1918, we might never have seen the rise to power of the Nazis in the thirties, and we might now have many millions alive, who perished in the resulting second World War.
I would rather be living with the problems of that boost to the population, than with the results of that war.
What I hate most, is those who can't distinguish between the human being and his actions, and therefore hate in a personal fashion, rather than trying to concentrate on issues.
