It's not bad. The people that tell you it's bad are the enablers. They are the ones that have let these criminals run roughshod across the world for decades, because they keep telling everyone else, "We have checks and balances," "Good always prevails," and a hundred other lies so they can keep buying their shit from the enslaved that die in sweat shops. You are not bad for wishing to see retribution come to those who have done everything in their power to elevate themselves while destroying everything around them. The ones left cleaning up the rubble in the ruins of our world won't ever think, "It's a good thing no one ever held those power hungry oligarchs in check. It would have been a shame if someone got hurt." No. The lie that we keep telling ourselves is that this won't end in violence. It will. The violence has already begun. It's worldwide. But we let it happen because it's a slow motion mosh pit. So slow that we accept the hurt because it's just "a little worse", and cannot see the compounding nature of the damage that is being done. It will end in violence. Will it be your violence, or theirs? Only one of those ends with your loved ones seeing a brighter day.
