No you don't. You know why? Because the status quo is intensely violent, and at best it's both lazy as fuck and pointless to talk about violence in terms that aren't relative to that. At worst, it's deliberately laundering genocide apologia

The good news is that if you're not trying to carry water for a genocidal project, then I can tell you why you denounce anti-imperial violence but never even think of imperial violence: Because it's comfortable. Imperial media allows you to ignore all violence but that which threatens it, and you happily accept that ignorance

 You, who are so liberal and so humane, who have such an exaggerated adoration of culture that it verges on affectation, you pretend to forget that you own colonies and that in them men are massacred in your name.
