You know, I'm not one to ever say a nazi was right about anything, but one thing is for sure, their opponents should have struck hard and without mercy at their very core from the beginning.
Allowing them to continue just gave them their power.
No I mean it, it should be open season on Nazis again, war should unironically be declared on them and it should be treated as if it's 1942 and Hitler has sent troops to the US marching around threatening locals and taking towns as Nazi German territory.
In that case capturing them would be a much higher priority than killing them. At least as far as the typical U.S. military rules of engagement. I’m all for that.
What place in society do thing these people could ever have? Do you think they're going to wake up some day and go "gee, ya know what? I'm going to put away my guns and not be racist anymore."? They're not. They're going to breed, then their children are going to be taught to be the same fucking trash they are. You're not going to fix these assholes.
Do all of us deserve to be run over by a car? What if we’re wearing some ridiculous costume? What if we’re armed? What if we’re calling for the eradication of a group of people because of their beliefs?
Their ideology is literally to eradicate races they consider undesirable. Their goal is to kill people.
If someone walked up to you and told you that their goal in life is to kill your kids, your spouse, your siblings, and your parents, what in the world would you do?
PS: the police aren't doing anything because the guy "hasn't done anything yet".
What a sad and scary world you live in. I’m sorry.
Please, keep your anger. It’s a good sign that you can tell things aren’t right. But be strategic. We need your emotion and enthusiasm to make this world better. There are so many ways to apply it. I hope you don’t limit it to violence.
I’ll write it one more time in case you missed it: We should do all we can to fight fascism. I’m just saying, let’s keep the blood off our hands as long as we can. Let’s try lots of other ways first to shut them down.
Then let’s fund schools, unionize and strike to take back power from the rich, protect the vulnerable, support diversity, have proportional representation and rank-choice voting. These (and more) are the things that prevent society from fascist infection.
They are coming for our fellow brothers and sisters for no other reason than "being the wrong color".
They intend to do harm or threaten harm. Doesn't matter if those people are children, elderly, women, or anything else. Be concerned and stop nazis by any means necessary.
But not doing anything, you are "tolerating" it. Do not "tolerate" it. That will just let them know they are welcome to try and will not face significant opposition or consequences.
Thank you. I fixed it to “when” instead of if. I was using “if” in an ambiguous way.
I’m glad you agree we should use “any way necessary” since most people replying to me are saying the only way to stop the people in the photo is to run them over with a car.
I’m not sure who you’re reply to when you say “not doing anything” since I’ve said over and over we should stop them from intimidating others. It’s already illegal. Let’s try a legal way first. Main point from the beginning has been let’s be better than jumping straight to murder.
I see in other threads, you like Babylon 5 and you’ll do the ol’-redddit-a-roo which I'm very fond of.
I’m disappointed I can’t meet you in real life. We could discuss this over some nice food. I could learn about your interests and your worldview. I bet we could even find we have a significant amount of common ground in our opinions.
I’m sure I’m misunderstanding and you’re saying something more nuanced than what I’m hearing you say. Or maybe you really are saying people with fascist beliefs deserve to be murdered for trying to intimidate others. And then I’d be able to listen to all the assumptions and reasoning supporting that position. Perhaps it would even sway me to take up arms and start hunting people.
^ This is pretty much what I mean when I’m replying with “okay” but I’ve spent more time on this thread than I probably should have, so I just gave a terse reply to let them know I heard them and won’t be countering their reply. If they want to take that as a win, they’re welcome to.
