No you idiot. What the fuck is so hard about understanding being as bad as your enemy? I didn't invent the concept.
The personal insult diminishes the weight of your argument. I encourage you to reconsider your debate strategies.
I say this as someone who disagrees with your position. I strongly believe that the correct way to cure a deadly infestation of conservatism is with violence, based on what has and has not worked historically. Never in history have conservative oppressors been defeated by pacifism.
We didn't ask to be put in this position, but here we are. We must choose to either defend our existence or allow the enemy to continue to slip the noose around our necks.
It is a badge of honor for a psychopath like you to disagree with me.
Again with the insults. I think it makes your position look weaker than it could be.
I think violence makes itself look weak
I understand you are opposed to violence. In most circumstances, I am as well. My opinion on the use of violence changes, however, when it will be used against my loved ones.
Seeing the violent threat that conservatives pose against the normal people, and seeing how it has played out over and over again throughout history, it is obvious to me that the threat is deadly real and must be stopped. Force is, unfortunately, the only way conservative oppressors have ever been stopped.
Violence is a last resort. I don't see how you can be sure of any opinion like this unless you can know the future. Knowing history doesn't mean you know the future.
I think our best method of understanding our current position is to understand our history. If history is our guide, attempting to respond with violence after conservatives have secured supreme power will be ineffective without outside help.
There is no one coming to save us. We must save ourselves. We will only be able to do that by acting before conservatives achieve their win-condition.
