Punching fascists does not make you a fascist. This is a dumb rhetoric - Tolerance of intolerance was always a trick used by fascists and other evil people to allow this crap to flourish
Now, saying people are fascists for wanting to punch a fascist in the face… THAT is something that makes me wonder
Being a cherry doesn’t make you meat
See? I can completely miss the point and do a non sequitur too
Like how you glossed over the whole part of it mentioning that he is part of the far right faction
Not voting has a higher probably of affecting leftist votes, and will likely empower the conservative vote, thereby voting in Fuckface 45 who is a fascist, thru and thru, 100%.
So “not voting” is a vote for a fascist.
Paradox of Tolerance
It’s okay to punch fascists, and the dude in the photo is one.
Well, you believe what you want. You can tell the cops all about it when you start punching people that you believe to be the fascist… or you can advocate that Democrats pick a winning candidate to beat Trump. Even if Trump wins, you can participate and run in your local and state governments to help protect the rule of law without punching people to try to force their votes.
Art. 20 IV of the German constitution roughly: “the democracy is armed. Any citizen has the right to defend it if so necessary”
There are no “winning candidates” other than Biden at the moment, full stop.
Cops are fascists, too. So I’ll be punching those when they protect their ilk.
Don’t be a bootlicking child. Understand what’s actually happening in the world around you. And know that actual violence is occasionally necessary.
