Politics have consequences. When elected politicians vote to arms ongoing genocide, people die. When elected politicians vote to deny people healthcare, people die. Politics and its consequences is inherently violent. . If you want nonviolence take up rattan basket weaving
This is why anything that comes out of the mouth of an American about non-violence is bullshit. They make jokes about one of the most barbaric acts ever committed to this day, they never found any remorse. That moment contributed heavily to allow American crackers and their empire to become what they are today. If the US could have been nuked in retaliation in 1945, we might have seen a more humbled and cautious US emerge, instead of the obnoxious child bully they became.
What’s weird is I can excuse more the people that actually dropped the bomb more than I can tolerate people who make up post-facto excuses for dropping the bomb. If it was 1945 and facing the slog of assaulting Japan and not knowing all the facts of a new thing I kinda get it. Even the people who set out to do evil like use it as a demonstration to threaten the world with. Because their whole idea was “if this works.” If. They didn’t truly know.
Meanwhile in 2025 the people with access to all the facts who say it was a good thing are just hideous. They gross me out so much more.
