That's a pretty fucking awful definition of violence. At least stick to the theft analogy. Jeez.


So no counterpoint then?

The Libertarian definition of violence is so wacky I don't even know how they begin to justify it.

Violence involves direct, physical harm. You're just bitching because you didn't get to keep a few more tax dollars. Which again, is frivolous.

How does the theft of someone's life not equate to violence?

Actually no violence involves actions that which either results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation.

Having attended the school he has used resources which came at a cost of someone else's life. He has literally deprived them of themselves.

So then allowing violent ideologies to continue to exist (such as racism) would be considered an act of violence by your definition. Because it will result in a high likelihood of "injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment or deprivation" ? Would you agree with that?

You're going to have to prove that either this kid intended harm, or that having shitty views has a high likelihood of violent actions.

What he is saying is that stealing someone's money is stealing their labour time, i.e. slavery. Stealing someone's earned wealth enslaves them for that part of their life they spent earning that money.

Plenty of people adhere to murderous ideologies like communism without being kicked out of school.

If it was a government school, imposing bans based on ideology effectively establishes a state religion in the USA.

How does the theft of someone's life not equate to violence?

A few things...

Theft is stealing someone's property, not their life. There is nothing inherently violent about theft.

Now, undocumented people going to public school are no more "stealing" taxpayer money than a student who was born in the US. Students don't pay taxes, so if you want to consider whether or not a student is "stealing" taxpayer money you have to look at the taxes being contributed by their parents. And even if an undocumented student's parents were not taxpayers, said student is no more "thief" than a native-born student whose parents are simply poor.

In any event, if you want to be ideologically consistent then you should be applauding undocumented students who "steal" taxes. If theft is violent and "taking someone's life", and taxation is theft, then refusing to pay taxes is self-defence and moral.

None of that shows intentions or even preparation. Just stupid violent ideation that you can find anywhere. While I would say this kid needs therapy it's of no difference to what you would find in someone stuck in a traffic jam, except in scale.

Well, considering the US and most countries in the world use tax money to house, cloth, and feed millions of criminals in jail and prison, all I can say is that your analogy sucks at best.

Or you know fucking NSG. I wouldn't flinch if you told me that a post was from a thread here. Every single time there's a thread about a rapist or someone who did something to a child that's the exact kind of thing that gets posted, often without so much as a warning. What was that even in reference to? We don't know because presenting a full picture is not in the interests of media now that every news outlet is basically a blog and the account was deleted.

Pretty sure corporate tax evasion steals far more money from the government than one undocumented migrant attending school so they can contribute to society.

PREACH!!!

So what exactly is this trend with immigration discourse? A student was expelled for expelling another student. Personally, I don't see what the problem is. The American School System taught those children a valuable lesson, it taught the immigrant "fuck you, got mine." And it taught the native "snitches get stitches." the effects of these lessons on the individuals involved remains to be seen. Would have hopped we'd be past this as a species by now but humanity is nothing if not flawed in a beautiful way. Actually give everyone a fishing pole and a free ride to Trash Island, Let social Darwinism run it's course (survive as a group or die.)

Technically only Spain is hkme to natives, since the basques were there before the indos.

Europe was made by Europeans, Japan by the Japanese and it belongs to them. Spain is Castilian mainly.

This is what's telling about your stance, you base who should be a citizen based on blood and ancestry instead of loyalty to the nation or hard work.

Yes nation is defined by its people which is something you get from blood although obviously some foreign people can be became citizens in some cases like adoptions happening in a family. Japan is Japanese because the inhabitants are Japanese for example

1. I wasn't aware Europe became a country, when did this magical event happen?
2. Two things, First: Bloodline citizenship is stupid, and Second: I like how you ignore Canada and Australia, even though they claim that their immigration is more difficult that the US', while having similar population demographics as the US, so...

I mean most of Europe, England is for the English, France for the French and so on and you have the audacity to tell the Japanese and Europeans they have to let in masses of immigrants in their own ancestral lands that their people built. Unlike the US they aren't "nations of immigrants"
