  • The miles of text you’ve written. Your assumption that the violence is preemptive. Your lack of questions of my motives, nor any attempt at discourse tells me that there is no “proof” that will satisfy you.

    You have your liberal viewpoint that discourse will convince the Nazi that they need not be so evil. I can simply leglislate this problem away! Like Germany! Look at the AFD they’re no nazi!

    Or maybe we can just debate JD Vance and that’ll stop the bomb threats in Springfield. They must listen to reason!

    You’re naive, you don’t know my history or lived experience and you don’t care.

    You’re not my audience, you may as well be an LLM or a useful idiot easily swayed by manufactured consent. There are no facts or reason that will change your mind.

    I’m hear to provide a loud counterpoint to the rhetoric that got us here in the first place.

    You do not understand Fascists nor do you understand anti-fascists. You understand reasonable people who commit rational acts and you are completely out of your element. That’s fine. Nobody is asking you to punch a Nazi. Plenty will do it for you.

    Fascists and Nazis start off as weird outsiders that find solace and comfort in male power fantasy. You want to get rid of fascists? Get rid of the systemic forces that breed them, wealth inequality, underfunded education, dwindling employment and low pay.

    If you want to fix that, go back into the 80’s and vote Reagan out of office, oh shit I meant Nixon, No no I meant Humphrey, or was it Jackson? Oh no of course it was Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion that’s it.

    We have Nazis now, this requires direct action and strong rhetoric. I’m not talking about accelerationism I’m talking about direct community action and counter protest.

    You vote. That’s good. You debate and reason, even better. But once they’re a fucking Nazi all they understand is Nazi shit.

    You don’t walk in my circles. You’ve already convinced yourself of your convictions. You’re a safe nonviolent upstanding member of society.

    None of these sources are for you, you’re not the intended audience. You don’t understand my situation.

    Every year this past decade more totalitarian states gain traction

    Every year the FBI report more domestic terrorists, but the numbers never seem to go down and I never seem to read about any raids

    Edit: You’ve made yourself a straw man. Defined only by rhetoric with no personal experience. Only the reason and appropriate logic you’ve been taught. That’s fine, you have your place. But it’s not here friend.


  • Quit the IAmVeryBadass bullshit about punching nazis instead, get off your ass and go punch on doors by canvassing and getting out the vote. Your time will be better served than this romanticizing of punching a nazi online when you’ll never do it anyway.

    That’s literally strawmanning.

    My argument is that you don’t understand the phrase or it’s history. It’s not literally punching anyone who I think “might” be a Nazi. Also you may want to look deeper into my comment history. I do not romantisize violence. I do however mock and deride language where a nazi or fascist might hide. Much like your defense of a Nazis’ right to exist.
