This is a pretty disgusting thing to advocate.

This is America dude. If you don't like our Founding Fathers and you don't like the Union Army, you might consider relocating to some mythical land whose history isn't soaked in blood.

Would you please stop using HN primarily for political and ideological battle? We ban accounts that do that, regardless of which politics they're battling for or against, because it's against the intended spirit of the site and actually destroys it.

Commenting occasionally on a political topic as part of a diverse pattern is one thing, but only using HN for that is another. There are many past explanations of this at https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme....

If you or anyone wants to read about how we approach moderation of politics in general, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... has lots.

(You've also repeatedly been posting flamebait comments and breaking HN's rules in other ways too. Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to them?)

Just to be clear here, are you saying that you're more disgusted by the idea of violent, direct action against those committing human rights atrocities?

Rather than by those committing the human rights atrocities?

One implies the other. Any kind of revolution means that there will be innocent lives lost.
