With the Democrats solemnly marking the third anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot, we could swear we remember President Joe Biden telling us that there was never an excuse for political violence (with the exception of the Black Lives Matter riots, of course). Biden even claimed that he and his wife had attended the funerals of all of the police officers who were killed that day by insurrectionists.
The New York Times thinks that political violence is a gray area and over the weekend published the thoughts of a climate "activist" on how political violence was justified in pursuit of his cause.
David Marchese sat down for an interview with eco-terrorist Andreas Malm. To his credit, Malm actually pushed back on the more militant aspects of Marchese's moral code.
I KNOW YOU’RE SAYING HISTORICALLY THIS IS NOT THE CASE, BUT IT’S HARD TO THINK THAT DEATHS DON’T BECOME INEVITABLE IF THERE IS MORE SABOTAGE. Sure, if you have a thousand pipeline explosions per year, if it takes on that extreme scale. But we are some distance from that, unfortunately.
DON’T SAY “UNFORTUNATELY.” Well, I want sabotage to happen on a much larger scale than it does now. I can’t guarantee that it won’t come with accidents. But what do I know? I haven’t personally blown up a pipeline, and I can’t foretell the future.

YOUR 4-YEAR-OLD? Yes. There were a couple of scenes that stayed with them, particularly when people were wounded. They found this fascinating. They know that their father is a little politically crazy, if I can put it that way.

UNHINGED: The New York Times publishes a guy who can’t rule out blowing up a pipeline and who shared with his 4-year-old a movie about how to blow up a pipeline. pic.twitter.com/LiOSoML2IZ

The media justified BLM/Antifa violence calling it “mostly peaceful protests.” They justified the Iowa trans shooter saying he was “bullied.” Now they’re justifying climate terrorism.

BTW this was the justification they used for the Nashville shooter and October 7th. "There is violence against us, so what we're doing isn't actually murder. It's self defense." pic.twitter.com/0jucJgxOXU

This concept of justified violence is wholly endorsed by the majority of our media.

For those of us in the upper Midwest today, I think political violence against climate activists is justified.

It’ll be almost funny when these journos find out that they’re not invited to the billionaire compounds either when they get the chaos world they’re cheering for.

Leftists LOVE political violence, as long as they get to choose the victims.

At what point do the American citizens start to deal with these people? The government isn’t.

So, presumably he approves of violence to counter his efforts?

“May the best at violence win” is his position. He must not love anyone.
Just don’t be a father taking the school board to task for aiding and abetting the dude in a dress who raped his daughter. Then the FBI will get involved.

"But the thing we have to keep in mind is that existing pipelines, new pipelines, new infrastructure for extracting fossil fuels are not potentially, possibly — they are killing people as we speak," he explains.
And our sitting president made a campaign promise to get rid of fossil fuels and shut down Keystone XL on Day 1. Anything is justified as long as you do it to save the climate.
