So instead of talking about theoretical ways of ending the war and violence, I say that we have to get rid of the individual asholes in each office and situation.

Meaning of the quote

The quote suggests that instead of just discussing ideas to stop wars and violence, we should identify and remove the specific problematic individuals in positions of power and authority who are causing these issues. In simpler terms, the quote says we need to focus on addressing the 'bad apples' in leadership roles rather than just talking about general solutions.
