agreeing with someone who threw socialists out of helicopters

I think everything has to be put in context. Chileans before 1973 were heading towards a venezuela like country, and the people who pushed for a coup d'etat were probably desperate.

I don't condone the murder of people, but I've thought a lot of how these people must have felt. They probably thought the country was slowly becoming a shithole. Imagine seeing a group of people driving your country, YOUR COUNTRY, to poverty, expropriating stuff from people, seeing your neighbors and yourself make lines to get fucking toilet paper. I can see how it can drive someone to want to overthrow the government HARD.

Aaaaaaand years later Chile is doing pretty well. I don't like people to be murdered, but I'm glad someone stopped socialism at that point.

I recently bought a cheap violin, having never played it before, with the intention of teaching myself. I've been browsing some books but still not sure about what's the best way to proceed. What do you suggest? Thank you so much.
