The Black Sheep LIVE: Is Terrorism Ever Justified?

Salomé & Jake's livestream from December 17th, 2024

The moral norms we've long taken for granted have been uprooted in the social media era.

Luigi Mangione, the presumed murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, fits every definition of a "terrorist." The amount of sympathy—and even celebration—that this act of terror has inspired begs the question: can terrorism ever be justified?

Salomé Sibonex and Joseph (Jake) Klein discuss this complex question.

Tune in for a discussion of:

• What conditions, if any, could justify terrorism?

• The psychology behind savoring the death of perceived political opponents

• What extrajudicial killings mean for a classical liberal society

• The missing nuance between understanding terrorism and celebrating it

Salomé will be live-streaming multiple times a week to keep you in the loop on all things black sheep, from highlighting examples of groupthink to musings on how to live a freer life. You can join her livestreams on YouTube, Instagram, and X, generally every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday evening. Your questions and comments are encouraged, so participate on whatever platform works best for you!
