    when the nazis are at your door for your train ride make sure to politely communicate that you don’t like trains

      hurr durr when you say unprovoked violence in response to words is a bad idea, that means you think actual physical aggression should be opposed with nothing more than words

      No. This is an idiotic straw man. Shame on you.

      It’s not even that unprovoked violence against extremists doing nothing more than speaking isn’t as effective as other methods, it’s that it literally helps them. You are making negative progress when you do that. Even the extremists themselves have made this obvious, as I cited. With social media as prevalent as it is today, how negative that progress is is only accelerating. For every video they see of one of ‘our guys’ getting socked in the face while they’re just standing there or speaking, their recruitment grows.

      But I guess that little spurt of dopamine you got from taking the swing is just so much more important, huh?

      Selfish foolishness.

        yea those totally non violent world wars were so effective

        ‘other methods’ lmao

        extremists are making progress because rich fucks are funding it and had this shit planned out for over 2 decades

        we’ve ran out of time, we already have the brownshirts assaulting peaceful protests

        good luck with whatever you’re doing but not for a moment do i think you’ll be successful
