Will Bunch expresses what I've been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don't support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.

Did I say you have to agree with racists? Did I say anywhere that you should have respect for neo Nazis?

I said: STOP FANTASIZING ABOUT ASSAULTING PEOPLE FOR THEIR SHITTY OPINIONS! First off you'd piss your pants in the real world, second you'd get your ass handed if you did and if you didn't, you'd go to jail for assault and yes: YOU WOULD BE THE BAD GUY, NOT THE NEO NAZI

I try to quell the hoard by saying "defensive means violence to those who intend your innocent negbor to get assulted, violated and killed because he exists. Its not vauge." But some minds are sadly closed.

Thanks for the link, this whole thread is a shitshow

You have no idea what you're talking about, or what we are talking about. Assault and battery is not legal in the USA, or any count for that matter. You fantasising about it doesn't change that.
