Neo-Nazis appeared in Lincoln Heights (metro Cincinnati) Ohio and got ran out of dodge… but not before locals stole and burned their swastika flag in the street.
I have no issue with that. That is what I would do too. That is exercising your right to free speech too.
But if people advocate for violence & destruction of property, many here saying you should suckerpunch & murder them, then that is fascism disguised as being anti-fascist.
I think you forgot that we didn’t reasonably discuss our way out of a war with fascists. We should have 0 tolerance for fascists wherever we are. and that includes punching them and stealing their symbols of hate to burn.
America has had fascists in Power almost since its creation. If you have a car you’re prob supporting fascism used to produce the oil, if you buy things at the store, you’re prob using fascism used to produce, ship & sell the product. Heck, even your taxes sponsors fascism. You have no holier than thou ground to stand on. WW2 Nazis were defeated. They do not exist anymore. Almost everyone you see now is s cosplay Nazi that you have no evidence they have done any violence against anyone. It is amazing how in your mind you’ll look for any excuse to feel righteous to justify your own desire for violence & hate.
It amazes me how many assumptions you make about my character. I’m aware of the Nazi science used to build our world, and I reject it. To live in this world means to abide by the people in power, which have strong fascist tendencies. Hell, I live in Minneapolis, which saw our mayor get scratched and I witnessed how he bled. I avoid violence wherever possible, and don’t level unsubstantiated threats; I’m a pacifist. I’m saying right here and now that I will fight, kill, and die if it means stopping fascism.
That is fair. I shouldn’t make broad assumptions based on my other interactions. If it came to war I too would fight against fascists, but there is no war yet & getting yourself arrested for attacking someone or destroying their property, especially when there is no evidence they’ve committed any crime, is not the right approach.
This is where you’re going wrong, you’re allowing the law to define morality. Their crime is supporting and advocating fascism, full stop. Fuck them, and fuck that speech. We all know where it leads.
