042: What We Can Learn from Left Wing Violence

Talk Back to Me

While politicians and pundits make a scene calling this or that person violent, as a form of implying moral status, we take a look at various pieces of contemporary Left-Wing (American) literature to glean lessons on how we think about the subject. As difficult as it is to keep politics out of any conversation, this solo presentation addresses what we can learn about the ethical (note, not legal advice) use of force, through considering how these left wing authors implicitly categorize the people they write about in terms of metaphysics, when they should be doing so only ethically.

From the Rules of Engagement, to Escalation of Force, we consider what conditions are necessary for the ethical use of force in self defense. The left, in this case, has definitively embraced the concept of premptive self defense, which quickly invites the straw man arguments perhaps rightly thrown at it. But, in order to properly argue against it, we must understand the statements implied, as well as why they are incorrect, in order to do what is ethical.
