fuck that
when are we allowed to call for violence then? How many people does a fascist have to kill before we are allowed to wish death back on him?
How Nazi does a Nazi have to be before you're allowed to kill it?
I didn't say a call to violence wasn't warranted, just that Griffin's photoshoot was not a call to violence.
i didnt misunderstand you, i was speaking to the royal you
I think you're swell and you did a good job conveying your thoughts above
The pearl-clutching about political violence is rich coming from people who celebrate political violence on 7/4 every year.
im not suggesting political violence
im suggesting self defense against social murder and fascism
but yes i agree w you
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
Political systems hinge on people following the nonviolent bureaucratic process for them to exist, so anyone who supports a political system's existence will always condemn violence for political gain, and will punish any violence they feel threatens the status quo. You can still do violence, but you will face punishment for it. Same as during the Union Wars.
thats a good fucking point actually
its unreasonable to demand that your opponent follows the rules without doing so yourself.
im mad that my opponent has broken some of the rules, but if i start doing it too then what was the point
