I wasn't going to respond to this thread at all, but since you went to the trouble of using 100% of your comments on this account to post in this thread, and you're spreading this shenanigans, I'll copy what I said over at Lobste.rs: -------------- [This link] takes a thing I said on Twitter and uses it to say something I don’t mean. My twitter reply re: violence is based on the tweet it’s replying to: general activity by groups who call themselves ‘antifa’. I thought my parent was making a false equivalence, but rather than arguing with them about this false equivalence, I decided to just say ‘cool’ and bow out, hence my response. I believe “antifa are just as violent as the fascists” is wrong on multiple levels, but I don’t really care to get into it here, to be honest. -------------- ... and I still don't. That's all I'll be saying here about this.

  Dude, you explicitly said you're "100% okay with [violence] personally" You then said, "the only things fascists respond to is violence. Ignoring them or letting them attack you doesn't help." You then linked to a Woody Allen video where he confidentially states a Nazi march in NYC should be attacked with "bricks and bats" rather than taking a civilized approach against them. You explicitly endorsed violence against political groups you dislike several times, don't try to pretend like you didn't now..

      Do you seek out KKK marches and assault them with bricks and bats then?
    - hates_shrooms 11y ago
      Of course "Nazi" being anyone who doesn't go along with your bullshit.

    It's the paradox of tolerance. Should a tolerant society tolerate intolerance? The fact that many think: "No we should not tolerate intolerance" is the apparant paradox.

      Yeah first they came for the fascists, and I said nothing, 'cos I'm not a fascist... or wait, maybe I am by their far loco definition!
