not a call to violence

fuck that

when are we allowed to call for violence then? How many people does a fascist have to kill before we are allowed to wish death back on him?

How Nazi does a Nazi have to be before you're allowed to kill it?

I didn't say a call to violence wasn't warranted, just that Griffin's photoshoot was not a call to violence.

The pearl-clutching about political violence is rich coming from people who celebrate political violence on 7/4 every year.

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Political systems hinge on people following the nonviolent bureaucratic process for them to exist, so anyone who supports a political system's existence will always condemn violence for political gain, and will punish any violence they feel threatens the status quo. You can still do violence, but you will face punishment for it. Same as during the Union Wars.

thats a good fucking point actually

its unreasonable to demand that your opponent follows the rules without doing so yourself.

im mad that my opponent has broken some of the rules, but if i start doing it too then what was the point
