By justifying it, you’re justifying it for them too, as they believe they have the same or similar grievances. Regardless of who you think is more guilty.
They already believe themselves to be justified and have had their consent manufactured over a long time. As evidenced by the fact that they feel righteous in the Jan 6 attempt, and are responsible for most terrorism.
I understand the desire. But two wrongs don’t make a right.
For example, I’m also against the jokes about prison rape. I don’t care who you are, you don’t deserve to be repeatedly raped because you committed a crime.
Edit the point is that feeling of seeking retribution is natural. You want “bad” people to get the very worst of life. But if for nothing else it’s best not to act on those thoughts because we wouldn’t want that “retribution” brought upon others or even ourselves.
I’ll make a deal with you. I’ll be totally ok with it if I start actively harming women by insinuating I own them and you doxx me for that so that women can come tell me how I’ve harmed them. If I spout white supremacist drivel I want you to punch me until I stop. If I make thinly veiled rape threats I want you to kill me.
Since I want that to happen to me, I can go ahead and do what I want, right?
It’s not “you”, it’s the innocent people about to be doxxed for their immigration status, who are not interested in whatever deal you’re comfortable with.
Once the practice becomes politically popularized, the cat is out of the bag.
If you think non-fascists being civil and respectful to fascist is going to give fascists even a fraction of a second of pause before they do shitty things, my only possible conclusion is that you’re painfully naïve and also that you don’t actually understand what fascism is.
Who is “us”? I’m not here to be a good guy. I’m here to live my life on my terms without interference and help others do the same. Notice that nowhere in that sentence did I say “Make racists comfortable and happy” or “Snuggle up to a smarmy pile of garbage who trolls women”.
I’m not a good guy. I’m not a nice guy. I’m not the tolerant left. I’m pissed the fuck off and I’m not above doxxing a stupid cunt obliquely threatening rape or punching a Nazi. You can whisper your mean words about them into your pillow or whatever you think will make them stop and I support your right to do so. But that ain’t me.
You’re cool with leveraging error prone violence that can easily be reversed on to at risk people. Live that best life i guess.
I’m all for taking it to these fascists, just get a better method lmao. Doxxing is shit because it can easily hurts bystanders, and is terroristic.
Everyone here is very ready to be conversationally violent, but there’s nothing “tolerant” about not popularizing terroristic methods. It’s just having basic respect for other citizens who don’t want to be in harms way with no reason.
What if they got Fuentes address wrong and someone got their innocent house burnt down? That’s why I don’t like it.
If you’re ready to take down Nazis, do it correctly. Don’t risk randos.
If mother fuckers ain’t checking their work that’s their own fucking fault. Notice I haven’t put that address anywhere because I haven’t personally confirmed it. I also didn’t participate in the Boston bombing thing on the other site because there was too damn much uncertainty. Not that I owe someone making sure Nick Fuentes is comfortable an explanation.
It’s going to get turned on the vulnerable whether I do anything or not. It already has been in several cases without my involvement.
So you keep being the good guy. I’m going to be a shit bag.
It’s going to happen either way. We can dox their worst or sit back and do nothing. And they’ll still do what they are going to.
Which is why the right always seems to win. They keep at something till they get it.
Eh… fuck em. Let them fuck around and find out. I’m tired of playing nice guy with these twats.
This is literally what they’ve been saying for years. It’s amazing how much we are like the people we hate the most.
GOP behavior baseline is Dems breaking point behavior. Notable difference.

They say the same thing about the BLM protests.

Doing their dance moves doesn’t make us “good” anymore.

Those two scenarios are mutually exclusive.
It’s like saying, “Well, you don’t want non-violent offenders in prison, so no one should ever go to prison for any reason.”
It’s going to happen either way. We can dox their worst or sit back and do nothing. And they’ll still do what they are going to. Which is why the right always seems to win. They keep at something till they get it.
Sure but taking the high road has done nothing but embolden the right. It’s past time of playing nice.
