    If even namecalling is too much for you, then you do not, in fact, understand how to defeat horrible people, let alone fascists destroying humanity.

      I’m not talking about name-calling. Go hog wild with that, it seems fairly effective.

      I’m talking about dehumanizing them. Deciding that any means that will end them is justified. Treating them like feral animals. Harvesting their organs for profit, like outhouseperilous suggested further up. That’s what I’m pushing back on.

        While the organ harvesting is a bit much, you must realize how utterly asinine and inept being against violence is when the target is openly vile people who choose to betray humanity.

        Yes, we must always keep context in that these people are bad because they CHOOSE to betray humanity, but remembering context is wholly different than deciding to go against proven means for defeating this hateful, anti-humanity ideology…

          Who’s arguing against violence? I’m saying don’t dehumanize them. Humans are quite capable of being monstrous and horrible all on their own.

          Absolutely fight back against the fascists! My grandad did, and I think he’s a fine example to follow. He didn’t have to treat them as something other than people to do that, though. He just treated them as the enemy they were.
