If so, was it polled somewhere?

    No, no, they’re right on this one. Killing your landlord is good actually. Like literally everything else Mao did was bad, but he was right on this.

      I’m a little more reserved. I would peg my response to their attitude to change.

      If they’re willing to step aside, or even support shelter becoming a human right, then I’ve got bigger problems than them.

      If they’re going to cling tooth and nail to a system that sees people freeze and starve for their own enrichment then yeah, fuck 'em.

        I mean, they could do that now. They don’t gotta wait until the knives are at their throat–though if that does happen, i expect plenty will say whatever they think will get them off the hook.

          I mean, the people who believe that landlords should be killed could do that now. They don’t gotta wait either.

              When you talk about social change via the killing of landlords being a good thing, and having knives to their throats, well the police already disagree with that. I took that as a given that you didn’t care. So they could do that now, they don’t gotta wait.

              But here’s the point. We have established someone might not actively pursue social change that they know to be right because it would incur some personal cost, but they wouldn’t hinder it either. I’ve got less issue with them.

              I have most issue with people who actively hinder that social change.

                Of course i care. Don’t be foolish.

                Remember this started off with talk about Mao’s policies.

                    I don’t care what the police think about Mao’s politics. That doesn’t matter. I care whether the police think they can shoot me to death and get away with it freely.

      I get the feeling if you learnt more about Mao you’d find a lot of things you’d want to add to your list.
