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.
That bit, right there, is what totally changes the scenario from the person you were replying to. Presuming by “protect” you mean protecting from physical violence, and not only from words.
Wait until you see the manifestos from all of the shooters. Punch nazis. The nazi to violence pipeline is not theoretical.
Words if used irresponsibly enough are a form of violence.
So, when you are talking about using violence “to protect yourself or some one else”, you mean protecting them from someone saying something you oppose, and we’re back to arguing that if you don’t like what someone is saying you should be allowed to assault them, because speech has consequences.
Recruiting people to suppress the rights of others and sending thinly veiled threats to minorities is a form of violence bra
Words can be violence for sure. If i were to replace this comment with just the block-quote and “/s”, moderators would justifiably light my ass up. People should not be expected to figure out if I was joking after threating their lives.

Save that for a judge, I’d love to see you try
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech_in_the_United_States - I haven’t done anything wrong, so I’m not going to court, but someone else already did.
I’m sorry, you’re at this point just sayjt that in the USA you can just walk up to someone, assault them, punch them and its all fine because hey, you feel he’s a Nazi.
You’re dumb and yes, I’d love to see you explain that to a judge. Grow up kid.
