Comment on I throw hands (grabbing my soup)

I think the following is a better idea:
Be better than them, help people negatively affected by them, vote, try to be less cynical and more rational, instead of continuing the cycle of hatred. It is better for your own mental health and the lives of others.
I am just as susceptible to anger as anyone else and by no means above it, just to make that clear. You don’t need to and can’t become a saint.
I know people don’t want to hear this, because humans are wired to be extremely responsive to hate (just look at twitter) and I don’t mean to be preachy, but this would be a much greater net positive for humanity.

nebulaone, did we see the saw the same meme?
We are already better than them:
- we care for nature
- we intersect and build solidarity
- we feed everyone And we also end oppression.
Nazis were breed into: -destruction of nature
- isolation & exclusion
- feeding only the strong And continue to traffick at gun point.
What more do you want narcissistic sociopaths to do? Become liberals‽

Ah yes, I’m sure the fascists will get their act together once they see us, respectable people holding hands and being good litte humans. That has always historically worked.

Yes. Do all that.
And also punch a nazi.

That hasn’t historically worked out.

Seeing most people thinking assault is the better option, I am not surprised.

punching nazis is the same as voting: vote early, vote often (this is technically a crime)

Well the point is to make it less of a popular thing to be a Nazi, and to make them be scared of being Nazis, at least publicly. The less Nazis are accepted the less people will find themselves validated in their beliefs

Ok, let me ask you a question then and let you come to your own conclusion. I will not reply after that.
How do you think extremists react, when they feel threatened?
