    When I was in politics I have a friend that used to say: “The best way to win is not to act like them”.

    I still live by that phrase. I don’t want ro become then thing I want to destroy.

    Maybe it is just me. I cannot stand lies. I left political activism mostly because I saw people on my same group lying “for the cause”. And I cannot be dishonest or stand dishonesty, no matter the cause.

      Personally, I would rather live in a democracy as a liar than die under fascism knowing that I always told the truth.

        The thing is that when you build something using the enemy tactics you end up with the country the enemy wanted.

        When you use fascist tactics you end up in a fascist state. If you don’t believe me ask me most revolutionary countries that did “everything possible” to build the workers paradise.

        I don’t really think there’s a way to do bad things and end up with a good result.
