The problem with political violence is that it works. If it didn't, history would be very different. The works would be vastly different and better. But dead enemies can't harm you. It's as simple as that. That's the point.

Watch movies on a phone if you care about storytelling. The small screen diminishes the cinematography to the point of can't hide bad writing. Looking at you, Dune and Arrival.

Anyone can be wrong, and be stupidly wrong. But some people can be wrong in the most interesting way. And that's almost more useful than being right.
