On the very first episode of "Riposte", writer Jakob Ross and contributing writer Samuel Bakken will debate the following resolution:"Some degree of violence is morally justified within the next few years to dismantle the harms of our current socio-political system."The first half of the debate will consist of the two laying the groundwork for the political and philosophical views, and the second half (26:38) will feature a discussion over whether controversial speech by Breitbart Editor Milo Yiannopolous is inherently violent, and to what degree protesters are justified in blocking it.To share your experiences in the classroom at the UW, get involved in a debate for future episodes of Riposte, or for general questions and comments, reach us at
