It is not the lowest amount of violence a side might use in a war that makes them better, the better side never uses it.

Reason and peace not hatred and violence is ever the best way and ever shall be.

If you go so far into ideology you convince yourself that any means are acceptable to win you have become the evil you once claimed to oppose. It is the rules we dare not break, such as using illegal violence against others, that separate us from monsters. Anyone can be a tyrant.

Unnecessary aggression is not justice or strength it is human weakness and desire.

There is no justice to be had in wanton blind destruction, just more injustice.

If a person acts like a monster too long it ceases to be acting.

If you think making unlawful demands predicated on unproven beliefs with the threat of violence represents bravery, you are the villain in the story.
