Sorry to hear he’s in a stable condition.
Classy
Jesus dude. I know right wingers can be absolute cunts but wishing death on them? Really?
Yeah.
I don’t tolerate the intolerant.
There is a difference between not tolerating their shit and wishing people's death.
Edit: spelling
Nah. fuck em
Violence is supposed to be the last resort to deal with them, I don't see how this is in any way helpful, good or justified.
The last resort according to whom? It's no law of nature or physics.
The last resort according to basic self preservation.
The other side have guns too. What do you think they're gonna do when you start killing their people?
they're already shooting. that's why we're mad in the first place.
And sure, shoot at the fucker that's a threat to you. That's no justification to shoot at persons 2 and 3 that had similar belief systems but wasn't shooting at you.
The right is already directly and indirectly killing innocent people.
Oh, the entire right wing is killing people? So how much blood is on the hands of the elderly couple down the road that go to church every Sunday?
Such rhetoric is not only incredibly immature and lacking of insight, it encourages the extremism that leads to violence. Grow up.
One side is gonna lose in the end. That is all that matters. The world is ruled with violence. Non-violence only is beneficial to those currently in power.
Basic self-preservation as you put it requires violence. How are you going to preserve yourself when you let people run around who want to opress or kill you?
One side is gonna lose in the end.
And there are plenty of times where this is done non violently.
Basic self-preservation as you put it requires violence.
Yes. As a last resort. That doesn't mean never using violence. It means using it for self preservation, not just because you disagree with them.
As a last resort is too late. If you can use violence successfully, it justifies itself. Waiting for when it's time for the last resort is too late. You're not going to stop the nazis in the spring of 1933, you would have needed to kill them in the 20s, a decade before they came to power. The same applies to any political movement.

Except such thinking was how we got the Nazis in the first place. Hitler co-opted unions and parties who were extremised by such responses, and these were the basis of the Nazi party.
No the reason why we got the Nazis in the first place is because liberal institutions allowed them to exist and participate. It was mainly the fault of the German social democratic party.
Violence is how to prevent them. For anything you can criticize the Soviet Union for, any fascist movement there would have been squashed with extreme prejudice. Just like anyone even close to fascism ideologically was terrorised.
The guy people keep partly citing when they bring up the "paradox of tolerance", for example.
If he's still alive it's definitely not helpful, I agree
If you tolerate the intolerant, the tolerant society shifts to intolerant.
So you do not tolerate yourself?
Do you?
"It hurt itself in its confusion"
The only good fascist is a dead fascist.
Right-wing politics isn't inherently fascist. It's a broad spectrum, ranging from moderate conservatism to extreme ideologies like fascism. Fascism involves dictatorial power and forcible suppression, which are not characteristic of all right-wing beliefs.
The last time they seized power in Spain, the people had to explode them out of office.
no not wishing death just disappointed to see him alive
