I'm gonna be the guy to say why I don't like this.

Anytime I see someone apply dehumanizing language to a group of people -- no matter how vile -- I immediately wonder if this person is motivated by a desire to protect anything or if they are just excited to have found an outlet that allows them to indulge violent desires without jeopardizing their social standing.

This is precisely the type of message and messenger the FBI uses to infiltrate and entrap antifacists. OP, I think it's very unlikely that you're an undercover FBI informant, but you should read up about Micky Windecker, because you're wearing the uniform of an FBI informant and their targets.
Dehumanizing people for their objectively evil anddangerous, consciously chosen, and often acted upon beliefs is not comparable to dehumanizing people for their inherent, involuntary attributes.
If an ideology revolves around harming or oppressing innocent people, its followers are a threat to society and is undeserving of sympathy, compassion, or a place among us, and should be treated accordingly. People who actually act on those beliefs are even worse, and are deserving of permanent removal from society.
Democracy and human rights were only ever possible through violent struggle against authoritarian ideologies, and can only be maintained through the same. To advocate tolerance of those ideologies is to advocate the fall of civilized society.
I think you've misread my comment.
I don't care if someone carrying a black lives matter flag tells me they support the use of violence against fascists. That's fine.
It's when someone shows up and says that harm is the priority. I have no indication from this photo what OP stands for. And so I can't help but wonder. Did he show up because he opposes Nazis? Or because he was looking for someone to hurt, and discovered that they were a permitted target? If so, I don't really care what he does to Nazis, but I can't trust that person to advance justice at all. Does that make sense?
Also, again: OP should be careful. If someone like that comes up to you and starts asking if you want to go put your money where your mouth is... they could be setting you up.
Here at tolerance camp, intolerance will not be tolerated.
I'm just going to direct you to look at my other responses. The TLDR is that I never said that Nazi lives matter (they don't), I said OP is giving off some signs not to let this person into your trust circle too quickly.
or if they are just excited to have found an outlet that allows them to indulge violent desires without jeopardizing their social standing.
I get why people are dunking on this but for real, spend two seconds in a "pedophile hunter" community and tell me this isn't true.
