Is that the same Logan from Schism? What the heck.
I present you with Rachel Summers (Grey) who threatened to kill the mass murdering psychopath Selene and Logan kindly gutted Rachel with his claws. The only reason she survived is because the Phoenix Force sealed her wound and prevented her from bleeding out. She was delirious and in pain running form the scene when she was enslaved to Mojo by Spiral. All Logan's fault!
Yeah, Logan really does have a fetish for stabbing redheads who are not related to him.
I get that, but from the grimdark nature of the story, things truly seem hopeless. There is no reason for anyone to think mutants will ever be in a better place if they are constantly surrounded by groups that march for their genocide, daily. And if there was any bigoted person to murk, I'd hope it would be the one that won't change their tune and is actively advocating for something worse than mandatory eugenocide.
Logan would kill people (including teenagers) if he thinks that it would avoid an even worse issue (stabbing Rachel was an example of that), it has been his modus operandi since the 80s, he is the guy that does the dirty work of the group. He is not proud of it, but he would do it, still a lot of this story feels... dull so is hard for me to care for the scene at all.

Even if things are bad, killing people will only make things worse and would only be good for selfish catharsis. They shouldn't do nothing in response to this, but they should be doing it the way Cyclops did. Confronting it and taking an active stand instead of operating from the dark. Scott would get on stage and confront a politician, but not blast them. That would just be supporting the beliefs you're fighting against. It's not good strategy and it's not what superheroes should do.
Writing the story so that significant X-Men alumni don't understand this is suspect, but at least they make the line clear.
I don't blind date I make the direct market vibrate
I think we all agree that Hope is wrong (After all, she has been the villain regardless of all her previous characterization).
The point is that the X-Men do not seem to be giving a reasonable answer to the problem either. The comic is more concerned with telling us how NOT to do things than how to do them.
It only presents what we all already know.
However, if you are fighting against a racist fascist regime then technically you are part of the revolution or the resistance. Then you are actually fighting a guerilla war against an overwhelming enemy. It depends on perspective. With the way that humans are rounding up mutants, experimenting on them, killing them, trying to "cure" them, personally I think Hope may be correct the only option is to treat it like a war and fight for survival. I will admit that there are probably no winners in this, but sitting down and letting the mutant race be unilaterally slaughtered by humans doesn't seem to be the wisest way to survive. Haha, can't believe I am saying this but long live the Mutant Liberation Front!!
It's not as if we can say that Hope is right but the current situation is not much different from Operation Zero Tolerance, the Sentinel Program, Decimation or the Inhuman cloud.
If the mutants run at least in theory the risk of extinction (again) you can not bother to play fair if you want to win or survive.
Or does anyone expect the Avengers to save the mutants? Or expect humans to change their minds and go back with the vaccine's decision out of pure goodness? When did this work?
My problem with hope being the villain is cyclops and Logan had x force fo around killing people they perceived to be threats and got a stern talking to , hope dose it once and Logan tries to gut her.
