    All those things are from a past where democracy wasn’t a thing and indeed you needed to uprise to an oppressive power.

    This is still the case for the majority of the planet.

    It is not the case in the developed nations. And even in the US Trump has won the popular vote.

    You feathering a tax collector is an act against the will of the majority. This is not a revolutionary act, because you’re not acting brave and sacrificing yourself to voice a majority’s opinion.

    Contrary, your actions are radical activism. You represent a minority, and yet you so firmly believe in your own righteousness that you justify violence.
