too strikes
If it too strikes, if it too kills, it is not as a glorification of its strength, but as an element of itself that it is obliged to tolerate, that it finds difficult to account for.
Could you tell me what 'too strikes' and 'tool kills' are? Actually, I had ever saw a sentence said 'I'm killing it.' And the translation of it is 'I'm freaking awesome!'. I thing it's a slang. Could you show me more examples? Or could you explain the rules to collocate words in such style?

If it too strikes . . . . 'too' here means 'in addition to something else that strikes'.
eg Tom strikes. If Mary strikes, in addition to Tom, . . . .

I'm reminded of the saying, 'Been down so long it looks like up to me'.
One gets so used to trying to make sense out of terrible English!

It is from a book on prisons and capital punishment by Michel Foucault, written in a highly erudite style:
As a result, justice no longer takes public responsibility for the violence that is bound up with its practice. If it (justice) too strikes, if it too kills, it is not as a glorification of its strength, but as an element of itself that it is obliged to tolerate, that it finds diffic

Yes, you are right. This sentence is cited from the book DISCIPLINE AND PUNISHMENT written by Foucault.The word you put in make the meaning emerge.
If the justice makes an outsize vicious impact on the plebs, if the justice make too many people going to die, it is not....
This is my paraphrase. Is it right?

Maybe, sir, you can have a look at the 'sixth floor'. The girl cited the complementary contexts.
PS; Do you know what 'sixth floor' means? It's a popular cyberword which refers to the sequence of the postings. If you guys have a corresponding saying, could you tell me?
