These rules are self-contradictory. Either you support oppression/autocracy, or you support violence in resistance against it on grounds of self-defense. You don’t get to have it both ways!
No, but see, you’re not supposed to use violence against oppressive / autocratic regimes. You’re supposed to, like, convince them to not be oppressive / autocratic with love and kindness! Because that is something that 100% works and has never backfired in the history of the world!
It’s even stupider than that: it’s not just that it doesn’t work, it’s that it’s a full-blown logical contradiction. Oppressive/autocratic regimes cannot be stopped by peaceful means by definition, because if they could then it means they weren’t oppressive/autocratic to begin with.
The rules aren’t a moral stance, it’s so the fbi doesn’t kick down their door.
