    I’m aware of the paradox, and that it wasn’t high caliber ideas in the 2nd world war that defeated Nazis, but rather bullets.
    Regardless of the sentiments going around, the US is not currently at war with itself. I would rather not get to that point if it can be helped. Call me naive, but I think civil war can still be avoided.

      There are armed masked thugs on the street disappearing people with no rule of law. What is that called if not a war?

          And you don’t think violence is an appropriate response to fascist tyranny?? What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you just going to politely get in the gas chamber? Where’s the fucking line for you?

          Not everyone needs to go out and shoot a Nazi but let’s be respectful of the people who actually put their life on the line to rid the world of evil.

            Wow, rude.

            First of all, I think violence is an appropriate response. That doesn’t mean I have to wish there was more of it. Is it going to be necessary? Almost certainly. But anyone who wants violence should take a long hard look at themselves.

            Civil war would lead to starvation, infanticide, rape, and other atrocities. Are horrible things already happening? Obviously. Do you really think there is something “wrong” with someone who doesn’t get off to the idea of more suffering?

            We probably agree about more than we disagree, and I don’t think anything I said warrants such hostility. That’s all I’ll say.
