    I think the important point is that love and violence are not in opposition. If I save someone by harming or killing their attacker, that is love. I don’t have to hate their attacker to do what needs to be done to protect them.

      This idea can be employed to justify lots of things of varying morality. I don’t think you can really mean it as a general principle.

        Anything can be used by people of varying morality to justify anything, nothing anyone says can stop that. You’re using your varying morality to protect Nazis right now.
