The disturbing thing about this thread... is the declarations of those who obviously view the BNP as "evil" but automatically as a FIRST resort turn to violence themselves as their answer on how they'd "deal with the situation"
Really? Because they won an election, you would KILL them? You are honestly advocating that you would go get a GUN and SHOOT Human beings because you disagree ideologically with their party, even though no one has yet said how they would govern as the political ruling party? You wouldn't even give them or the people who voted for them a chance, it's just straight to the gun locker for you?
This shows the failing of human society in only the starkest of ways.
All mankind knows how to do, even the most noble of us, is answer violence with different flavors of violence.
Never heard of the greater good?
No such thing.
There is just Perception. It's a moral dilemma that can be justified from either side.
Take for example Anakin Skywalker's thought of bringing peace to the galaxy through the use of FORCE...
If there is turmoil... and you have a powerful army and the power to end war, but only through your heavy handed violent zero-tolerant policies where people are put to death for the simplest crimes, where there are no freedoms except those you allow, and everything must be approved through you, every decision... BUT.. there is prosperity and peace, no crime rate, and everyone has enough food, healthcare, and a small simple home then is the actions of a tyrant acceptable?
Then say some people feel that such an "oppressive" life is unenjoyable, that they want to make their own decisions on how to live and to be "free". So they assassinate the all powerful dictator, and plunge the world back into war with people again drawing lines and taking sides, but at least they can choose to do what they want. Murders and theft goes back up, some nations become prosperous while others can hardly feed their dying diseased people.
Of those two scenarios, which is the better good and who has committed the more grievous act upon humanity?
These examples I have given have NOTHING to do with the BNP or their proposed ideology. I simply use them as an example to illustrate how "The greater good" is nothing more than a Perception based upon the ideals of the individual, Borne of SELFISHNESS, not the greater "anything" at all.
