      I’m not sure how you expect to deal with people on the right that actively want to kill off anyone who disagrees with them. Unfortunately, violence must be met with violence. And no one mentioned lynching until you just did. Are you ok?

        I think you missed the message that started this conversation about the lynching and advocating for violence “If you are in proximity to this fuck and aren’t hitting him in the face then you’re not only a class traitor, but you’re a traitor to humanity.

        In my opinion way to deal with violence, and that is why I quoted Asimov, is by being creative, educating, reasoning and having the moral high-ground.

        Anyone that is violent for me is indistinguishable from “the people on the right”.

          Lynching in the US is broadly seen as an extrajudicial killing by way of hanging. Historically, that’s what it is most of the time.

          You are wrong in saying that we must fight by “being creative, educating, reasoning and having the moral high-ground” because these fucks lack the ability to reason. The state of things is that it is a cult, a disease within our system and must be fought with tools they understand. Punching a nazi is not even remotely the same as a lynching, and is more akin to defense of the community.

          I believe your inability to tell the difference between a nazi and historical victims of lynchings is a problem. We shouldn’t even have nazis anymore. Your line of thinking that being creative is gonna solve things is the same kind that the anti-vax idiots that have brought back eradicated illnesses have. The vaccine for nazis is violence, not horse dewormer or moral high ground.

            Thank you, I have been using that word wrong my whole life, I thought it meant a mob beating. I disagree on everything else, have a nice day.
