It's true, but as Lenin points out, what matters is building power in systemic fashion. Random acts of violence on their own aren't going to change the system. In my opinion, “Left-Wing” Communism: an Infantile Disorder is an absolute must read because it addresses the question of how to build power effectively, as well as what methods to use and when https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1920/lwc/

I get why it exists, but yeah it's more trouble than it's worth in most cases.

Absolutely, random violence isn't going to lead to any sort of systemic change, and it will be used as an excuse to implement fascist policies at an accelerated rate.

I really like the idea of using a relation db to track change history. It removes so much weirdness and quirkiness that git has. You just have regular SQL queries you can use to go through history and ask questions about the state of the repo. I also like that it's immutable so you don't have to worry about things like rebasing and other ways you can fuck up history in git. The problems solved by mucking with history largely go away when you can query the db with a rich syntax.

invading and occupying other countries is only bad when the enemies of the empire do it

I definitely find that understanding what's happening and why goes a long way towards removing anxiety and fear.
