When is Violence Justified?

I've just re-read the egg assault on the Corbyn thread (March 2019).  The part where A Red says he should have been hit multiple times with hard-boiled eggs until he was unconscious is shocking.  

I think I might have used the word scrambled as an attempt in egg based humour

 

Or there again i might not

He was punched in the head. Which is apparently enough to cause brain haemorrhaging, these days 

 

You seem to be perfectly fine with him being punched in the head repeatedly for minding his own business.

Violence is justified. 

Richard A is giving her a hard time. On the physical where she had to throw bean bags at a target he said ‘Pretend it’s a Marxist.  Or someone who believes in social justice’

Of course I did, though I looked a bit of a knob marching down Penzance high street on my own.

 

Was one of your older relations a painter and decorator in the Aigburth area?

I said "mainly", but there's loads of grey areas too I think. One that comes to mind is if we get to a situation in the future where it's widely accepted that we're almost fucked (as in it's accepted that our time has basically ran out unless we do something in that moment) for saving the environment I accept violence to eject workers from a polluting factory/workplace (say an oil company) so that the place can be destroyed if that's what activists choose to do.

 

Not mindless running in and beating people up, just basically getting them out of the place by force if needed so the place can be destroyed. That to me is trying to defend the species of the planet basically though, and is clearly an extreme situation. Hopefully we can avoid ever getting to that stage.

I think the grey area is arriving much quicker than we might have imagined....
