Good stuff! Classic. Reposted: /s/VaccineSkepticism/comments/4kiq/truth_in_media_vaccine_court_and_autism_1028_ben/

I actually doubt that if she sued them that she would even get the names (and addresses) she might want to hunt them down and exact revenge. (Give them birthday presents?)

I'm not a fan of violence or lawlessness or revenge, but sometimes "terrorism" becomes the only means of self-defense, though often ineffective by that point.

Ben Swann is the reason I went down the pizzagate rabbit hole and that was the first time I found myself believing a "conspiracy theory", he's one of the few journalists out there that seems to have any credibility.

The word "terrorism" deserves quotes around it for sure. Since you brought it up, I have to say something. All these large states, doesn't matter if they are white, black or brown, liberal or conservative, right wing or left wing, never consider their organized murder terrorism, its just innocent people who violently defend themselves against a murderous, oppressive system who are labelled terrorists! I personally don't advocate for lawlessness or anarchy, we need to enforce some collective rules but it is difficult to believe that the influence of a large government can be anything but malign. This classic piece of wisdom always applies: power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Agreed.

My first exposure to this idea: /s/StarTrek/comments/adk/star_trek_the_next_generation_the_high_ground/ By far, my favourite episode for daring to shed light on the perspective of the underdog "terrorist" resisting the monopoly on violence and full spectrum dominance.
