Will Bunch expresses what I've been thinking since Trump was elected. American democracy is under attack from within. The fascists who yearn for an authoritarian government in the media are promoting it, and the media who supposedly don't support it fail to recognize it. They are busy trying to follow the political playbook of the 20th century.
The issue is there is a belief that the problems we are facing are because we can't accept each other's opinions and we all need to buckle down and compromise with one another.
Which is deliciously naive in a world where Nazism has gone from "So universally reviled that they are a punchline at best" to "Just an opinion from a guy asking questions."
Do not serve Bar Nazis
Mmmm, I have had a long line of arguments about this just now. Yes, neo Nazi's are beyond contempt and to be reviled, but please do not "punch a Nazi", ice seen that making a comeback. There is a long list of reasons why assaulting somebody for shit reasons is a bad idea, just don't.
"Look Nazis are bad, but if you do anything about it, even if it's to protect yourself or some one else! Then you're the bad guy!"
I really hope you're just naive and not a concern troll.
That bit, right there, is what totally changes the scenario from the person you were replying to. Presuming by "protect" you mean protecting from physical violence, and not only from words.
Words if used irresponsibly enough are a form of violence.
