You mean the D.C. that is famously full of people of color, none of whom have representation, despite having a larger population than two states, and who have been historically marginalised, in large part because a few blocks of the city have some marble buildings filled with ethnonationalist, corpofascist kakistocrats? You’re suggesting we burn down that D.C.?
Except, what everyone seems to be ignoring is that those buildings literally aren’t filled with the evil dudes most of the time. I was born in DC. Those buildings are almost entirely empty, and there are always multiple orders of magnitude more tourists in and around them than there are potentates. Most of the most powerful people in the country don’t even live in DC most of the time, because they’re rich enough to just fly in whenever they need to, or drive in from nearby states, where they have massive mansions. I’ve given my perspective in a different reply which you are welcome to read, but torching DC is an inane idea, tantamount to screaming and breaking a plate so you can feel like you’re helping the situation.
While you have a point, are you suggesting we continue to let them be victimized by doing nothing and continue on with the status quo? Sometimes forests have to burn and the old has to die to let new life flourish. Such is a fact of nature.
As I said to a different response: when demolishing buildings, we use high explosives, not gasoline. I was born in DC. The buildings didn’t do anything wrong, nor did the people who live near those buildings. Very few of the traitors to the nation even live in the capital most of the time. Burning a city to the ground is never an acceptable solution to any problem; It wasnt appropriate in WWII for Dresden, London, or Hiroshima, it wasn’t in the war of 1812 for D.C., and it isn’t now. Large-scale retaliation will only cause collateral damage and put up a smokescreen. It would be nothing more than senseless violence amounting to stomping your feet on the ground. Any action which has a hope of success in bringing justice must be done in an orderly and methodical manner, I don’t go in for all the modern second amendment crap, and am a conscientious objector, because the one part of that amendment which is most important is this: a well-regulated militia is necessary to protect the rights of the people. The declaration of independence makes it clear that we have a right and a duty to throw off this government, which is openly seeking to reduce us under absolute despotism, but that doesn’t mean just burning some uninhabited buildings with god knows how much collateral damage is a good plan. It would be nothing but theatre with an extreme innocent death toll.
Are you aware of how large-scale fires work? Don’t be dense yourself. There’s a reason we demolish buildings with high-explosives, not fucking gasoline and matches.
We could always take a page from the French and burn DC to the ground lol
I believe it was the British that burned DC down

more just the marble buildings filled with the evil dudes, that DC

Don’t be dense. No one wants to burn all of D.C. Just parts of it.

Preferable to a nationwide civil war IMO
