If necessary, kill the president.
I’m sorry, but this is just unacceptable. I totally understand people wanting a revolution and I agree things are pretty fucked up, but to target a figurehead like that is just taking it too far. not to mention you shouldn’t use senseless violence to get your message across. It’s radical crap like this that makes me question my support for civil movements
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi was killed, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak was overthrown. You’re saying killing tyrants is an act of “senseless violence”? This folks, is why I am not an ineffective liberal pacifist.
If the president is a crazy authoritarian dictator that’s ruining the country, yes it’s necessary to remove him from power (whatever way possible) in order to change things. I believe the world is better off without those people and I’m not disagreeing with what happened. I’m just saying something like this can be scary and unnecessary depending on the situation. It’s important to know what the root of the problem is, and if it’s not the president himself, this would lessen the integrity of the movement.
