Let me start by saying I do not condone the destruction of government buildings in any way. Full stop.

If there are separate parts of a system -- but all part of the same underlying system -- do you really see them as completely different things? For example, I've heard cops, while arresting someone for marijuana, just "pass the buck" and say, "We don't write the laws, we are just enforcing them."

If you are part of maintaining, propagating, and continuing a system, are you not an equal part of that system and the things done in its name?
