Violence to uproot a US-backed dictatorship which shoves dissidents into mass graves every other week? Unacceptable and unnatural.
Violence to assist an ethnonationalist settler colonial project in eliminating resistance in the ghetto they shoved the indigenous population into for the past 75 years? What violence? Simply is a natural process.
Not even getting into the violence the American state used to entrench itself during its own revolution (against royalists, natives, farmers who want to pay less taxes like the Whiskey Rebellion) and, today, wages abroad and on its own citizens every other day (poverty, imprisonment, police brutality) to maintain itself.
Remember, the “hypocrisy” is the point when it comes to defending Empire. Deep down, they simply believe it’s a team sport.
The Whiskey Rebellion will never not be funny
A country ‘allegedly’ born out of pathological hatred of taxation without proper local representation decided to turn to taxation (while lacking in representation)
Then when there was an uprising over it, they decided to try and put it down with force without a trace of irony (which was amplified because quite a lot of dissenters were American Revolution veterans)
Beard’s Economic Interpretation of the US Constitution (which I very much recommend) posits that many of the people involved with Shays’s Rebellion (also Revolution vets) took on the viewpoint that since the masses fought for the freedom of the country, they should be entitled to a share of it. Given that the Whiskey Rebellion wasn’t that much further down the timeline it wouldn’t surprise me if the taxes were just fuel to an already smoldering pile of kindling the Opulent Minority were having trouble extinguishing.
