Ah yes. Advocating for arson & terrorism. Democrats new way to counter Trump's fascism.

[-] freepizzaforlife@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Violence against fascists is always cool and good, hope that helps op

[-] essell@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

The USA was founded by treason and terrorism

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

The way you unashamedly prefer fascism over violence against fascists, with your whole chest.

Literally one of the most famous poems ever written is about exactly this.

You know, First They Came?

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

So they came.. and Jewish people learned to become the Nazis? Like, what is your point here? It is okay to be a Nazi so that we can stop the Nazis first?

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

You cannot be so media illiterate.
You think that fighting a Nazi makes you a Nazi? That's the lesson you got from the poem? That is either a mind boggling amount of illiteracy, or, more likely, you're a Nazi apologist.

People who are in a position to stand up to evil and fail to do so bear some responsibility for the deeds of the evil.

Never mind that this post is clearly hyperbolic, you're clearly making bad-faith arguments in support of fascism. If you're a fascist or not, you gotta take a good long look in the mirror, because that's fucked up

[-] Distant_Foreground@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Maybe thinking it's okay to murder someone and burn down a school for telling people not to vote is a very fascist position.

I'm not American and have no dog in this fight but it's fascinating to see it unfold and how blindly fanatical and willfully ignorant both sides can be.

If a Rep punches a Dem they'll justify it as self defense or something. If a Dem punches a Rep it's "okay to punch a Nazi". Even seeing how both sides interpreted the presidential debate was ridiculous. Reps ignoring all of Trump's lies and inability to give a direct answer to a question and a lot of the more fanatical Dems willfully ignoring Biden's obviously declining mental state.

Reps caught up in a cult of personality and Dems willing to vote for anybody that isn't Trump. It's quite scary to see how easily each side can dehumanise the other while thinking they're correct and morally superior.

The way both sides pardon their own calls to violence can't lead to anything good. If 'the other' said or did something you consider to be completely heinous and you'd justify it or praise it were the roles reversed then maybe introspection is in order.

Of course violence is sometimes necessary but there seems to be growing bloodthirstiness from the extremes of the Left and the Right and I fear what might happen in November.

I'm sure I'll be downvoted to fuck but that's just an apolitical outsider's perspective.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

You're simply making more bad faith arguments. The post was clearly hyperbole, but using violence is probably a reasonable response to actual fascism.

You can't "both sides" this. Both sides are evil, but one side is an existential threat to democracy. One side has demonstrated its not going to play by the rules and is fine breaking the norms that many checks and balances relied on.
On one side some voters are extreme. On the other side, some politicians are extreme.
One side has already tried to undermine democracy and actually met with some success and no repercussions.

It's not the same, and to call it the same is done in bad faith.

[-] VictoriaAScharleau@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

the didn't say they're the same

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Not voting is equivalent to sticking a fork up your ass & expecting it not to hurt…

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

It still isn't fascism. Advocating to murder people for not voting is more fascist than someone publishing an article suggesting to not vote.

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

…and your point is?

No one here appears to be advocating violence, just that dude looks like a bit like Hitler & is spouting off awful advice.

Fucking vote folks, it’s the only response you have left.

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

The post literally says:

"Shove his ass in a locker and burn the entire campus containing said locker to the ground. (The campus is Hillsdale)."

If you're not advocating for murdering him, why would people be upvoting this response which says to murder him and burn the campus to the ground?

These types of responses only promote Trump's chances as it makes Democrats out to be domestic terrorists.

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

Maybe because hyperbolic ranting is cathartic? Stop being so obtuse.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Literally 3 out of 4 posts here are advocating for direct violence, arson, murder.

[-] Grilipper54@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 months ago

Got it, call anything we don't like Fascist so violence can be approved.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

It's literally the language used in the comment I'm responding to. I'm not the one who originally called it fascist lol
God y'all so pressed, it's pathetic 🤣

[-] MHanak@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Sir i am afraid you may have overdosed copium

[-] Irremarkable@fedia.io 0 points 2 months ago

Because asking nicely stopped fascism the first time

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

So you'll now kill people if they don't vote for who you think they should vote for, or if they don't vote?

What’s the guy’s name in the OP? Do you have any links to the writing referenced in the screenshot?

[-] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

You're clearly struggling to identify fascism.

[-] PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 months ago

You realize that Trump's supreme Court Justices are the ones who legalized exactly that, right?
