A quotation from Wendell Berry

Violence breeds violence. Acts of violence committed in “justice” or in affirmation of “rights” or in defense of “peace” do not end violence. They prepare and justify its continuation.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Essay (1999), “The Failure of War,” Citizenship Papers (2003)

For #BDS #BDSHorseShoe-sympathesizers and #Tlaib, the scale of death and destruction that await #Muslims, #Jews, and entire humanity, regardless of race or ethnicity, will pale in comparison to what has happened so far in #Ukraine and #MiddleEast.

Both #Gaza & #Ukraine #genocide are horrific, but the horror will increase by orders of magnitude if #cycleOfViolence is not broken.

#Hamas wants a #permanentStateOfWar.

#Putin want to reconstitute the former #SovietUnion in his #RevanchistDreams.

"Leo" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15654328) is just pointless violence and stupidity ...

What kind of court tests a person's shooting ability when they killed somebody in self-defence? Does India not have self-defence laws?

Half an hour in and it's already very stupid with the promise of the cycle of violence continuing ...

Apparently the wife of a murdering thug does not accept that her husband will die by the gun and so wants revenge and so on ...

Movies, especially Tamil ones, have continued to get violent for some time. It’s almost as if each new movie wants to push the boundary as to how violent they can be.

Leaving aside “Leo”, I find this troubling. I hope this is cyclical and it goes away soon, but if not, where are we headed?

Walter Wink coined the term that "violence cannot be undone by violence." However, the #ransomtheoryofatonement it is a founding element of dominant #Christian #theology.

We can unmask this more easily by looking at older propaganda to which we have some distance, like the trainer does with analying the #cycleofviolence in #popeye in the video below.
