“ever”? So we’re not limited to reality or likely scenarios? Just anything I make up as if I was writing a creative fiction novel?
I’m not sure how much this question actually measures propensity towards violence, than it does creativity and imagination.
Yes political violence is NEVER justifiable. That is the one and only correct answer if you wish to live in a modern society. And believe me, you do not want to live in the other kind
The question is not limited to modern society! Or even humanity! Just “ever”. I mean what does the universe even look like in hundreds of millions of years? Humans won’t even be around.
I am not going to play pretend with you. Sorry that you dislike what you see so much as to nitpick to such a microscopic level, such is the data.

Political violence is a daily occurrence in modern society. You find it acceptable because it is sanctioned.
Do you think the American Revolution was justified?
That is an insane take. So according to you, for example, it wouldn't have been justifiable for jews to carry out violent acts against the Nazi regime during WW2? Or any other oppressed people do so?
