>wouldn't most of you say violence in self-defense is acceptable

All depends on who you talk to and how they define self-defense.

>violence in self-defense is acceptable?

It depends on what you consider to be an aggression that could prompt self-defence.

>And if you are currently being enslaved, would using violence to free yourself be acceptable?

Sure.

>but wouldn't most of you say violence in self-defense is acceptable?

of course, but plenty of stupid people claim self defense when they provoke the attack. like the occupying troops in iraq being "attacked"

>And if you are currently being enslaved, would using violence to free yourself be acceptable?

sure

When you are using violence to smash authority that exercises violence over literally billions of people, I'd say it's no longer even appropriate to call it "violence".

So then, no one here is advocating pacifist resistance?

Why not? Even if it's the most justified act in human history, it's still violent. I think you're conflating violence with evil.

Violence is purely linguistic. It's a generalization that only helps politicians.

Self-defense is moralist, christian shit.

It only holds ground on morality and legality.

What is acceptable? Aceptable to whom?

It likely wouldn't be acceptable to the slavers.

Wanting something to be true for all niggas and at all times is mediocre.
