The act of willing to sacrifice oneself in some way to do what has to be done to fight the monsters knowing that it will have these consequences is perfectly in line with Christian values, in my opinion. In some ways the manifestation of Christ himself, right? "Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life for a friend." It's one of the big reasons why we're all on this board - to shoulder the burden of this knowledge so that we can be there for our fellow man when the time comes.
Why is it so hard for soldiers to come home from combat? There is the genuine problem of experiencing the horrors and the trauma of war and trying to process it all with a likely damaged brain, but in my experience, the real problem lies in processing and accepting that the fight is over. I've heard it called the "St. George in retirement syndrome" - that after St. George slayed the dragon and achieved his goal, what was there left for him to do? "St. George in retirement" continues slaying smaller and smaller dragons, at some point becoming the monster that he set out to slay in the first place. This can be applied to this color revolution, I think - the formerly reasonable liberal-left achieved their goals (gay rights being the best example) but they didn't know how to give up the fight and have fallen into this critical theory abyss.
I think your warning is sound - that abyss is real, and it's dangerous. We need to keep in perspective that we may have to fight the monsters without becoming monsters ourselves which requires introspection and, more than anything, God.
These people chose to betray, lie, betray, do horrific things, worship satan. God's Book is a record of what happens when the evil is just too great. I've always thought that those who end up in prison really do get a second chance--whether they are released or not, they have a chance to repent and get right with God. How do we give our country a second chance if the evildoers remain to continue their works?
To be honest i already caught myself many times thinking terrible things like :
Oh i hope he lines up all of the pedophile cannibals, puts them on their knees in front of the capitol, all of them having their mouths taped. And then they start playing videos on a big screen world wide of them raping and killing screaming kids.
and after that they hang every single one of them, one by one, while the military is surrounding them.
But then i thought to myself - holy shit, why did i get so dark? We should be the better people, we should be the light, in this world of dark. We should not hang them or behead them, we should just jail them, we need to remember that we are the good guys, we shouldnt drop to their level.
Truth in his statement. Just pointing out it seems he lived out darkness and hopelessness in a very personal way. Whatever we focus on gets magnified, for better or for worse.
Therefore...
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. Philippians 4:8
Friedrich W. Nietzsche
God has Angels of Death. Former military here, sometimes you gotta get dirty to defeat a dirty enemy.
Good post though, no hate
This is true. It’s a matter of understanding and overcoming the shadow part of yourself. Look into the abyss - and don’t flinch.
We should be dangerous but also disciplined.

When a bolt breaks off or seizes....you have three options; drill, torch, or angle grinder. Talking to it nicely wont fix the problem.
exactly. when i see a Podesta or a Brennan, I don't want to torture them. Just a painless bullet to the head and get them off the planet

Upvote for last half.
Beware when fighting monsters you don't let them remain free to be monsters. Somebody has to be a mN and take care of evil.
Be dangerous but disciplined. I agree that they must be dealt with - but not in a blood lusty manner. Through legal means.
See nietzche "parable of the madman"
Sums up now quite well
Guess Nietzsche gazed too long. Lost his mind and had a sad death.
I don’t know much about his life - could be. Jung and Solzhenitsyn would agree with his statement methinks.
