  Don’t dehumanize any group of people and imply violence against them is ok.

  I think I’m in the wrong place

    You are correct. That’s what Nazis do. Don’t sink to their level.

      Amen. Defy the urge to race to the bottom.

    Are you really arguing we should all be nicer to literal Nazis? That’s the group we are talking about.

    If you’re in the wrong place, I’m here with you. There are ways to deal with people that aren’t dehumanization and vigilante mob justice. We’re 4 days past the election. I think we need to see if society can pull through and avert disaster with less escalation and violence.

    For instance, there are a lot of legal challenges being prepared for the militarized internment camps that Trump campaigned on. In addition, the things he promised are simply outside the logistical scope of agencies to provide. “For one, it’s entirely impractical from an operational standpoint. The law enforcement capacity needed to both secure the border and carry out mass raids in the interior of the US simply does not exist.”

    Maybe things will get bad enough in the US to justify a civil war or something similar. It’s happened before (although even when it did it wasn’t just whoever felt violent killing each other - it was war with rules). Or maybe things like legal challenges, impossible scope, and half the nation’s disapproval will keep it from getting to that point. I’d like to keep violence off the table until we know.
