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
