Self defense is a kind of violence, I guess.
- some_random 9mo agoThey're kinda famous for punching people (physically) unprovoked at this point. There was a whole discourse around it that comes back up pretty regularly, I don't know how you could miss it.
- Refreeze5224 9mo agoPunching normal average people? Or punching Nazis?
- etchalon 9mo agoPunching people who think you and your friends should be killed just for existing is a form of self-defense.
- seneca 9mo ago> Punching people who think you and your friends should be killed just for existing is a form of self-defense. This is such an incredibly radicalized and detached from reality statement. It's genuinely scary that there are people who think this way.
- jazzypants 9mo agoThe real question is where do you draw the line with these ideologies? I don't think anyone deserves violence just for thinking the wrong things, but we're currently seeing the result of when those thoughts inevitably turn into actions. It doesn't seem like America ended up on the right side of the paradox of tolerance, so I'm curious how you think we could have avoided our current fascist leadership?
- seneca 9mo ago> I'm curious how you think we could have avoided our current fascist leadership? "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

- seneca 9mo agoThat's the classic example of a loaded question.
- direwolf20 9mo agoHow is it relevant to the context?

- jazzypants 9mo agoWhat would people like Trump, Noem, and Miller have to do differently for you to think that they are fascists? This is a genuine question. I want to understand how you view the world.
- etchalon 9mo agoYeah, it is terrifying there are people who think other people deserve to be killed just for existing and yet, behold, the world is what it is.
- jmye 9mo agoYou vote for my friends to be directly physically harmed, and you think it’s scary that some people respond to your violence with their own? You’re not “better” because you vote for political violence, my man, though I get that brings up conflicting feelings for you. It’s actually weird how often people try to pretend that their shitty actions (vis-a-vis making sure Grok can create CSAM, or that Facebook can more effectively give teenage girls depression) are morally neutral because they’re second order effects. You’re still a pretty shitty human being if you directly enable it, even if you’re not the sole cause. Some of y’all need to stop sniffing your own farts (or Elon’s/Thiel’s/etc.) and learn that.
- AngryData 9mo agoI find it genuinely scary that you have a serious problem with people punching eugenicists and hardcore authoritarians.
- otikik 9mo agoAh, you mean when they punched the nazi guy?
