Regardless of your take on political violence. Studying the history of especially the French and Haitian revolutions is instructive. Going down the road of civil war sounds good to some of us, but the reality of civil war is incredibly bleak. The Haitians have still not recovered after 225 years.

It’s mind boggling how violent and destructive it can get once people completely give up on the humanity of other people.

So, let’s keep trying for more peaceful lives. Even angry peace is better.
