Sorry to hear he’s in a stable condition.
Classy
Jesus dude. I know right wingers can be absolute cunts but wishing death on them? Really?
Yeah.
I don’t tolerate the intolerant.
If you tolerate the intolerant, the tolerant society shifts to intolerant.
Violence is supposed to be the last resort to deal with them, I don't see how this is in any way helpful, good or justified.
The last resort according to whom? It's no law of nature or physics.
The last resort according to basic self preservation.
The other side have guns too. What do you think they're gonna do when you start killing their people?
One side is gonna lose in the end. That is all that matters. The world is ruled with violence. Non-violence only is beneficial to those currently in power.
Basic self-preservation as you put it requires violence. How are you going to preserve yourself when you let people run around who want to opress or kill you?
And there are plenty of times where this is done non violently.
Yes. As a last resort. That doesn't mean never using violence. It means using it for self preservation, not just because you disagree with them.
As a last resort is too late. If you can use violence successfully, it justifies itself. Waiting for when it's time for the last resort is too late. You're not going to stop the nazis in the spring of 1933, you would have needed to kill them in the 20s, a decade before they came to power. The same applies to any political movement.
Except such thinking was how we got the Nazis in the first place. Hitler co-opted unions and parties who were extremised by such responses, and these were the basis of the Nazi party.
So you do not tolerate yourself?
You might want to read this blog post on this subject. What I'm quoting here is the central message, but do yourself a favor and actually read the rest and don't just respond based on this quote
There is a difference between not tolerating their shit and wishing people's death.
Edit: spelling
Nah. fuck em
Wishing him dead is fine in my book (since I don't believe in magic anyhow) however encouraging assassination of political figures (as this may turn out to be) is not wise because in future it will be your guy who gets assassinated.
It is in everyone's interest to have peaceful elections to sort out our differences.
"our guys" are being assasinated every day, dying from tough working conditions, starving away on the streets, getting killed by police, dying in another pointless war to see which group of rich people get to exploit a certain corner of the earth, being led to suicide by homophobic and transphobic retoric spread by these people...
The only good fascist is a dead fascist.
