@jayjaywon4 жыл бұрын
@AC He said that "nothing SHOULD be solved through violence," not "everything CAN be solved without violence". The leaders of the regimes in europe were led by warmongering psychopaths who had no regard for human life, including for their own citizens. They were more than willing to resort to violence when it came to a disagreement in geopolitical matters. The only reason why they just didn't declare war on everyone was because they knew they would lose if that happened. Trying to solve that through diplomatic means would only result in them declaring war faster. You can't compare a political process to that of a authoritarian regime.

maddie 74 Tony Firenze Your right about 9/11 but the TEXTBOOK DEFINITION of terrorism is “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.” Even id someone is “racist” that doesnt make it right John Brown may have been fighting for a good cause but that does not excuse murdering civillians he decided to commit terrorism because he believed he was fighting for a good cause I mean Timmothy Macveigh thought he was fighting for a good cause he believed the federal government was corrupt and evil he was getting revenge for killing innocents at Ruby Ridge and Waco he truly believed he was right and thought his actions were neccesary Tim Macveigh was a right wing extremist what they did Brown and Macveigh were both Textbook Terrorism and just because you agree with one more than the other doesnt make a diffrence they were terrorists John Brown is by definition a terrorist and if you reply to this comment with “Yeah well John Brown believed in a good cause” maybe he did but what he did was still terrorism and there is no excuse for terrorism no matter what the motive believe it or not there are some nutjobs who think Tim Macveigh was a “hero” and just because someone was fighting for a better cause doesnt make his actions right

Reconciliation should have never happened. We should have just left the South to rot for its treasons deeds. We should have made more brutal punishments for the Southerners. Because we decide to reconcile with the South (which basically just a slap on the wrist) , the South didn't learn anything from the Civil War. 90% of Modern America's race problems come from Southern Culture, which is just as bigoted and hatefully as it was 150 years ago.
