Imagine being a nation believing in heaven yet barely waiting for your grandparents who fought Nazis to enter heaven before switching teams.
Won’t let grandpa see you allow others freedom to love but you’ll masturbate over the hate they died to fight while they watch.
Try talking to them first, asking questions and getting them to evaluate their own beliefs. Many people are indoctrinated and manipulated into a system that they haven't really considered and would be better of rejecting. In that case, non-combatitive conversation can go a long way to enact actual positive change, rather than just virtue signaling to people who already agree with you.
If they're not receptive to that, and still causing harm, it's necessary to stop them via any means necessary. But still, try to avoid harming them as much as possible. As Milgram's experiments demonstrated, most people can do horrific things when a trusted authority figure tells them to. Remember, they are still people, and sometimes people are influenced to do bad things.
Counterpoint:
You should check out the next 5 verses of that. James 5:1-6. It's gotta be one of my favorite bits from the bible. I would put it here, but I kind of wonder if enough people start googling it if the powers that be will notice
Not a popular opinion on lemmy but I'm with you. I want to believe that the majority of people are good and just misguided.
A gesture is a gesture is a gesture /s
now this is hardcore gesturing!
