I don't believe that you and me discussing this issue will bring any "benefit" to either side.Coercion or "violent enforcement" is always present in every single government, regardless of who's in charge. It's the very nature of government, to enforce its laws through the fear or possible use of violence. Violence in and of itself isn't wrong, irrespective of whoever is applying it. So your blanket dismissal of violence and those who use it as "extremists" or terrorists is short-sighted. I can't accuse you of being cynical, because I still don't know where you really stand on the issues.
Either one believes in democracy and respects it's existing laws and act's accordingly - or one does not believe in democracy - since IMO it obviously doesn't work. (aside from Switzerland) Western democracy has been used and manipulated by lefties&Libs since 45 years to enforce minority opinions and believes onto a majority, via violent actions (basically blackmail) and manipulation of it's society, especially via the construct of political coalitions.
