For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.
I too crave violence, yet consider it to be the worse choice at the same time. If peaceful reasoning cannot win against violence, then we’ve already lost as a civilization pursuing a higher state. Because in doing as such, no matter how far we travel, that higher state can only ultimately be violence.
