On the contrary, the fascist bastards need to be called out. I wasn’t defending THEM, I was defending the average right of center voter. Those fascist animals should be put down. I’m not your enemy. They are.
Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit
Alterforlett@lemmy.world 1 week agoEver since the run up to Trumps first presidency I think you would agree that the republican party has become increasingly unhinged. And how has the democrats responded? With civility (in most cases.) And where has that got them? Your democracy is being dismantled, oversight removed, aid removed, trade wars with allies, etc. They got here by arguing in good faith, by being civil and not wanting to be labelled a reactionary.
Oh, and if you honestly believe you’re no better if you’re being reactionary towards fucking nazi saluting cunts, then fuck you. From the bottom of my heart, get absolutely fucked

You have the Declaration of Independence, Second Amendment rights, and you know who they are.

Thus you see the utter banality of evil and how it gains power and momentum. From people not actually DOING something.
What are YOU going to DO to stop them, American?

Being reactionary to a nazi salute at a presidential inauguration is warranted, reasonable, and useful.
Being reactionary to my 70 year old neighbor who ate too many paint chips as a child because he had a Trump sign in his lawn for 2 weeks before the election is less useful.
Being reactionary against an anonymous stranger in your own digital echo chamber is pointless (assuming their bad argument isn’t also in bad faith).
