Now please read the original post.

Violence is not a biological need.

You are clearly not familiar with the vast majority of animals on earth. The capacity for violence is very much a biological need, even if just to defend ones self.

It was only appropriate. They most likely were left with no other choice.

Therefore, on the individual level there are in fact times when violence is the answer, even if that’s just because it is the only answer remaining.

Sorry but there is an assumption implicit in your argument that tyrants like Hitler are somehow not human and are exceptional and not really a part of humanity

Never claimed or implied that. So don’t really have anything to respond to here as this is all entirely unrelated to what I was saying.

Exactly. If we keep doing it, clearly it is not the answer but rather a postponement

Clearly the answer to hunger is not eating. The answer to being tired is not sleeping. The answer to making a mistake is not apologizing…

It’s not whataboutism, it’s a legitimate point. I agree that Hitler was the problem and at fault, but that doesn’t change the fact that for the rest of the world the ‘right’ answer to the Hitler problem was in fact violence.

“Those that makes peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable.”

That just tells me how often we fail to find the right answer and then continue going ahead like violence is the right answer

Okay, so what was the right answer to say… Hitler trying to take over the world?

The conservative party in BC was basically non - existent prior to our last election. Before that our ‘conservative’ party was the BC liberal party. The Rustad came in with his Maga style politics which depressingly got him enough votes to be the opposition party.

As usual the far-right are eating their own again, and it’s not going to be to replace Rustad with someone more rational.

Time for Canada to join the EU!

The difference between McDonalds and sex work is that the employee isnt giving up their dignity and their body autonomy for someone else’s use

They get treated like shit by their boss and society, and told what to do with their body and when. They absolutely are giving up their dignity and bodily autonomy.

Pretty sure a few thousands generations of people figured out how to have sex and enjoy it before porn came along

(This is of course ignoring your implication that people who watch porn cannot have and enjoy sex as well.)

its still giving up one’s dignity and autonomy and allowing oneself to be used for money. If its so rewarding why aren’t those call girls advertising their great life to the world? Because they’re not proud of what they do, and neither are their parents, that’s why. Yes, it matters.

This reminds me of when I used to work in retail.

You cant regulate into ‘safety’ something that is abusive by nature.

I immediately feel sorry for anyone you have ever had sex with.

Wash dying raised the stakes for the final show down. Everyone was suddenly mortal and was no longer protected by “main character armor”.

Games are entertainment, not chores. You don’t have to finish them, nothing wrong with enjoying a game for a time and then being done before the “end”.
