Professional voter Owen Jones condemns embassy attack as a “worse than self-defeating” act of “senseless violence” committed by “an incredibly selfish man”—who was “seeking martyrdom” and “egged on by edgy types in the West”—because he didn’t kill Putin instead
I’m not saying his entire post is wrong. I agree that often the liquidation of low level functionaries of something isn’t akin to an actual revolutionary strategy and often backfires, that’s not what I’m arguing. I’m strictly pushing back on his statement that killing unarmed civilians is always immoral. Something can be both moral and still stupid/ineffective in the long run.
