  if you’re not in the US I can’t claim to be informed enough

  i do know Nazis are resurfacing everywhere though so more than likely you’re just fucking oblivious

    I’m actively fighting them. Still in a legal way. If war breaks out, then I’ll go to other less lawful ways.

      read about nazi germany it will be too late

      they are playing boiling the frog and soon they’ll escalate all the way, it will happen fast and violent

      i’m not advocating violence, I’m saying we’re going to regret not having done so

      paradox of tolerance should be required study

        Dude, my entire family was in the resistance. My great grandfather hid jews on his farm, was captured, tortured and died in a concentration camp. My family smuggled crashed British pilots back to England and liquidated traitors (family in my mother’s side) and blew up train tracks and communication lines (family on my father’s side). When my grandfather died, we found a huge walk-in closet filled with gas masks, emergency food, machine guns and ammo, in The Netherlands. I’ve had a lot of history lessons in school. Plain history, political history, economic history. I know a lot about nazis, how they come to power, how they work.

        I see what’s happening right now. The lack of democratic and media resistance right now leads to them gaining power, which will lead us having to escalate to more violent and unlawful measures. I don’t want it to come like that, that’s why I’m politically fighting the far right in my country (and fighting fake news) and even though they have taken too much power in my eyes, they can’t just do whatever the fuck they want.

        The US, however, is a failed state and the democrats were way to passive (and also too right wing themselves). So there’s no hope. Violence may be the only option. But just don’t dehumanize your enemy, don’t treat others how you don’t want to be treated yourself.
