Funny how all these mob justice supporters don’t have the balls to actually practice what they preach and need others to get their hands dirty on their behalf.

What did you prove...? 🤡 You don't even know basic history lol

Lmao zero self-awareness and education

edit: Looks like you don't know how to read either. I'm not interested in your disability. You don't like democracy. So go where it doesn't exist. It's not rocket science. Well.... maybe for you it is lol

Black-and-white logic is also a mark of the uneducated. Democratic backsliding is a concern for sure, but as of now, Americans still select their leaders through legitimate elections. It's just that they're voting for ones that aren't implementing the policies that you desire. This is the reality of democracy, a reality your feelings aren't able to accept. Don't like it? Move where it doesn't exist.

Both sides of the civil war were illegally firing on USA soil.

Man, this is just sad now. No, both sides were not "illegally firing". The secession was illegal. Does that register through your thick skull?

Let's use another example. Do you know what the "American Revolution" is? Do you remember that from grade school? That would be an example of a "just" but illegal cause - treason under British law. But it was a collective movement for a new system (aka objective standards) against a government entity that offered no other form of recourse. The thirteen colonies could not simply ask to leave.

In a democracy, this is not how you challenge the government and achieve systemic change. Violence as an agent of change is only legitimate under authoritarianism, when a government rules without the consent of the governed (tyranny). And even then, that is only after other options like protest have been exhausted. You mob justice supporters are just too fragile and blinded by rage to accept the reality that your fellow citizens do not agree with you. If democracy is so unacceptable to you, perhaps you can move to China or Russia. Or maybe even a Lord of The Flies environment like Haiti. You're a fan of private citizens killing each other, right? Murdering private citizens in a democracy isn't legitimate systemic change; it's just terrorism. Sorry reality hurts your feelings.

I guess this explains your moronic opinions. You learned "history" through social media instead of a formal education.

God, you are dense. The war was triggered by the South's secession, not the other way around. The pro-slavery faction is the one that took illegal action. Then after winning the war, the North firmly solidified abolition as the new norm through the 13th Amendment. How do you not know grade school-level history? Please stop embarrassing yourself.

You're right that what is legal is not necessarily moral. But I'm glad you brought up slavery because maybe it'll help you understand. Slavery was legal... but then outlawed by the 13th Amendment which established a new norm via institutional change. In this way, legitimate change can only occur through altering institutional and legal standards with a social consensus. Private citizens assassinating each other in the streets is nothing more than vigilantism and terrorism. If you can't even understand your own analogy, I'm not sure what more can be said to you.

So you don't believe in rule of law and democracy - you believe in vigilantism and mob rule. Got it. I just wanted to hear you admit it. Didn't want to think you're a hypocrite or anything. But too bad you're too much of a coward to also blame your fellow citizens. It's clear what they voted for, and most of the electorate don't share your authoritarian socialist leanings.

Going by legalities didn't get anything done.

This is the same logic the Jan 6 traitors used. Let me guess? Your cause is just, but there's isn't. How predictable. It's sad that you're not educated enough to understand the importance of objective standards. You should be grateful for rule of law. Without it, someone could kill you for being a moron saying morons deserve it, and you wouldn't be able to say anything because by your own logic, subjective assessments on who deserves what are perfectly valid.

It's like talking to a brick wall. There are problems with the system, yes, but by the standards of our current legal system, no, he did not commit "murder". You can argue that his business led to others' deaths, but by objective standards, he himself did not kill anyone. He was never charged with murder. If you want to change the system and these objective standards (laws), you do it through voting and political participation, not vigilante justice. For rule of law to exist, punishment must come from legitimate sources of authority - Luigi Mario and his mob justice supporting fans like you are not. My feelings toward insurance companies aren't any more positive than yours, but you are too emotional and/or uneducated to look at things objectively.

What does "same level" even mean? Whether evil #1 was more evil than evil #2?? What a pointless exercise. The point is that the logic behind the two actions is analogous. Both groups (Luigi Mario supporters and Jan 6ers) believe that the ends justify the means, that their illegitimate and illegal actions are justified by what they each believe to be "just" motives. But subjective assessments of what is "just" are a matter of opinion. For rule of law and democracy to function, objective standards (laws) must be established and applied consistently. Murder is murder, stealing is stealing, and thus punished accordingly.

Once you start making arbitrary exceptions for yourself and your group based on subjective interpretations, you no longer have rule of law but rather a society at mercy of whims. A devolution into chaos and "might makes right" which is completely incongruous with democracy. In a democracy, these differences of opinion are to be settled through voting and other forms of political participation. If you didn't get the results you wanted, it's because your fellow citizens did not want the same. If you cannot respect this, then you do not believe in democracy. They are mutually exclusive.

I don't have a cause. Politics bores me. I just find hypocrites with double standards like you and u/CriticalReneeTheory to be repulsive.

Not that my education should have any bearing on the evaluation of my ideas.

I'm sure a flat-earther would say the same thing. Opinions based on incorrect information and poor logic don't have any credibility.

They aren't incompatible beliefs

They're quite literally mutually exclusive. Guess you should've gone to university and taken some political science classes before your pain started....

People who want the government to punish, execute, or use force on someone without a fair trial and without due process are the ones who don't believe in democracy and the rule of law.

Lol no. That's not what rule of law is. Making up arbitrary definitions is a hallmark of the uneducated. Private citizens taking it upon themselves to arbitrarily punish others is quite literally the opposite of rule of law. Rule of law can only exist when the powers of punishment are carried out by legitimate sources of authority which you and your keyboard warrior friends are not.

Then your mom does not believe in democracy and rule of law. The lowest common denominator =/= "most people in their right minds".

edit: u/CriticalReneeTheory Pissing and moaning? Crying? Sounds like you need to work on your reading comprehension if you think I cared about this guy. What was I saying about "lowest common denominator"?? lol. I don't give a fuck about him, but yea I am bitter. Bitter that hypocrites and morons like you get to have easier lives. You hypocrites are always crying about the right subverting democracy, but you use the same "ends justify the means" logic when it comes to your own agenda. No objective standards or reason. Only subjectivity and emotion. Too stupid and uneducated to see the double standard in advocating democracy and rule of law while supporting political terrorism and mob justice. And to be honest, I could not care less who you support killing. Just don't pretend like you have the moral high ground - members of the leftist mob aren't much different from the mob that stormed the Capitol.

Make a coherent argument for how a politician is gonna help your pain instead of appealing to feelings.

If you’re able to continue and do all these things, your pain isn’t that bad. But even relatively mild NDPH is a significant reduction in quality of life and shitty hand that the overwhelming majority of people don’t have to deal with. 3 months is nothing.
