    The thing is, I’m not pleading for their respect. I won’t get it. I just won’t lower myself to their level so I will not grant them the argument “see, they are doing the same”.

        Who said I won’t attack them? Of course I would, and have. But within the law, without dehumanizing them.

        You call me pathetic, although I’m actively fighting against the far right, oppression and crimes against humanity.

        You, on the other hand, show you are just as bad as they are.

            They’re not, but is that an excuse to be lawless too? If the enemy commits war crimes, how are you any better if you do the same?

              oh but history shows they were

              we don’t have to guess how this plays out, educate yourself

              ‘better’ is for the strong and civilized, we are not strong in this mess and civil went out with Jan 6th

              they’ve broken the social contract, they no longer deserve its protection

              but it’s moot, this will go the same way it did in Germany

                  if you’re not in the US I can’t claim to be informed enough

                  i do know Nazis are resurfacing everywhere though so more than likely you’re just fucking oblivious

              You shouldn’t need an excuse to be lawless; laws are usually bad, and never good in cases where something else wouldn’t do the trick.

              They’re a tool for the powerful to save face and appropriate progressive efforts when on the defensive, to divide us and keep us complacent when they’re on the offensive. They are the shield and sword of injustice. Not a fan.

              Your conscience, fine. But laws? That is, at best; clown shit.

                Thanks to laws I live in a wealthy country where I can walk safely on the street anywhere any time without being in danger. No one has guns, there’s safe infrastructure, crime levels are low. But if you live in the US, a corrupt and failed state, or any other corrupt country, I get your sentiment.

                  thanks to laws i live in a wealthy country

                  Thats one word for ‘colonialism’. Samesies btw! And there are streets where i cant use the sidewalk bevause of all the tents, so fuck it.

                  Because of the laws and their enforcers; i never feel safe. Maybe this is just a class position thing?

                  guns

                  Fair, but it’s not the guns that tend to scare me here.

                  corrupt and failed

                  Corrupt; you can explain what the fuck that means, that just seems like liberal standard english for ‘i don’t like’. Failed: nope, can tell by all the men with guns who would be cheered if they killed me, but i wouldn’t share a glass of water with in case they choked and i was disappeared forever.

                  But you seem to be avoiding the shit i actually said and just scanning for things you can use in arguments that support what you already believe, rather than trying to understand what im saying. If only there were a famous politician who said you should read like that…

      Reflexive simplistic judgement without willingness to pull apart or confront uncomfortable ideas that may threaten orthodoxy; most antifascist thought.
