Part 8/13:
How Far Is Too Far? The Limits of Resistance
A recurring theme is the question of limits—when, if ever, should one resort to "dark" means to protect democracy from aggressive, possibly illegitimate, opposition? One participant argues that resisting tyranny might necessitate revolutionary or coercive actions, provided these do not corrupt the moral integrity of individuals involved.
They debate whether using force or manipulation—such as arresting corrupt judges or seizing illicit voting machines—are justified if done within the bounds of moral principles, or whether such actions degrade the moral fabric of society. The discussion recognizes that political opponents are unlikely to respect legitimacy when power is contested.
