This is kind of a bad example because, rhetoric aside, in various situations you can fight fire with fire and in fact it’s the best way to do it. I.e. controlled burns of areas subject to wildfires are used to lessen the amount of tinder lying around the place that could later go up in an uncontrolled manner. You can also put out an oil well fire by blowing the flame out with dynamite.
So to stretch the analogy further, maybe we ought to start focusing on what (who) ought to be controlled burned.
The analogy of controllably burning the right people seems an effective way to restore the democratic order (although it could also be used to tighten the fascist grip I guess).
Maybe more dynamite actually is the way. Ukraine uses IEDs in mailboxes to take down important people in Moscow for example.
Not a fan of Luigi’s violent means, but maybe we (or actually they since I’m also not American) have start fighting fire with fire.
Very good points. I didn’t know about the oil dynamite thing. Interesting. My previous comment was also slightly sarcastic. Just going along with the post I was responding to haha.
That last sentence though, agreed. (I’m also not an American, so there’s less guns where I’m from).
