I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Political systems hinge on people following the nonviolent bureaucratic process for them to exist, so anyone who supports a political system's existence will always condemn violence for political gain, and will punish any violence they feel threatens the status quo. You can still do violence, but you will face punishment for it. Same as during the Union Wars.

thats a good fucking point actually

its unreasonable to demand that your opponent follows the rules without doing so yourself.

im mad that my opponent has broken some of the rules, but if i start doing it too then what was the point
