Although I don't approve violence, trend today everywhere is that countries are run like companies and common folk, especially poor ones, are considered as "garbage it the way". Export industry being the nearest and dearest.

There should be a way to return the societies focus back to citizens. By the time AGI comes along this should be fixed or common people will be royally fucked.

Unfortunately history says the only way to return society back to the citizens is violence. There's nothing else the oppressors will listen to.

I approve of the defense of innocent people against powers that aim to kill them.

Violence is justifiable when the alternative is to be killed.

UHC kills innocent people. That's their business model.
