- barry-cotter 5mo agoPeople who think their opponents are Evil with a capital E generally think that way, yes. See the prevalence of “Punch a Nazi. Lots of Republicans don’t see Democrats as legitimate political opponents and the opposite is very very much true.
- amanaplanacanal 5mo agoViolence against those who are advocating for violence against innocent people seems completely justified. Calling them political opponents sounds like an attempt to white wash what's actually going on.
- Redoubts 5mo agoOk, but me and my buddies think you use tenuous judgement to characterize words as violence, and enable people to use physical violence in “retaliation”. That’s a bright line violence against innocents, so we’re closing all your checking accounts and preventing you from paying for anything without cash. And if people try to help you, we’ll say loudly in polite society that they traffic in blood money. I hope you understand.
