Is Violence Ever the Answer? Exploring Retribution, Justice, and Society’s Shifting Values

Hello, Earnest Mann here! In today’s episode, I tackle a polarizing topic: the role of violence in society and the distinction between justice and retribution. I argue that society’s sanitized view of violence ignores its historical and sometimes necessary role in achieving change. Whether examining the Romanov downfall, revolutions, or modern perceptions of justice, the conversation gets uncomfortable but real.

Violence as a Catalyst for Change: A Historical Perspective

I discuss historical instances like the Russian Revolution and the American Revolution, both rooted in violence. These examples challenge the commonly parroted sentiment that "violence is never the answer." From the Romanovs' fate to King George’s dismissal, history tells a different story.

The Difference Between Justice and Retribution

In our modern justice system, I explore cases like the killing of UnitedHealth CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangun. The public reaction—a mix of morbid humor and silent support—reveals a revolutionary mindset born out of economic despair. Retribution and frustration often drive the masses, but these are not the same as true justice.

The Soulless Society: A Call for Fire and Character

I lament the childlike complacency of today's society, comparing it to a "sterile, soulless consumer machine." Drawing on my Brooklyn upbringing, I emphasize the need for grit, courage, and the resolve to stand up against bullies—whether in schoolyards or corporate boardrooms.

I'm a deep thinking contrarian, a very pragmatic idiocythrope. I believe that function determines desirability and legitimacy. I don't like the superficial and/or pretentious, nor the shallow. I speak the truth as best as I know it, as a professor of tautology.

With friends, I desire quality over quantity. I know some very important life truths I'm just waiting for you to ask about. I have found in life, many people talk about happiness, but are unwilling to pay the price, or believe they shouldn't have to, because they are entitled to it, but I know with absolute certainty, that such beliefs are always due to stupidity, Insanity, or some degree of both.

This is not just another YouTube channel; I'm seeking to build a community of Intelligent thinkers daring to discuss, - and say - what the hell really needs to be said, so do the right thing, leave your thoughts, for me and others to possibly learn from, and subscribe, and tell everyone else in the world you know about me, and you'll stand a really good chance, of me remembering you, in my will!

I believe we really can change the current status quo of an idiotic and fucked up purposeless treadmill existence, and actually improve this world, but it requires intelligence, honesty, and BALLS, all three of which are currently in short supply, especially the balls.

Thank you for taking the time, to read this, and remember to avoid anything or anyone stupid, as much as possible, your life will be far better for it.

Please consider, that by visiting my website and/or donating to this show, you're supporting an actual person, not some mega corporation, that wouldn't know human compassion if it hit them over the head!

I look forward to hearing from you, and until next Monday or Friday remember, the world may be misinformed and batshit crazy, but YOU, don’t have to be!
