i was assaulted by a fascist last year. a few months ago i was walking down the main street in my city and there was a fascist (anti-immigration) march on. i lost the head seeing everyone just watch them go by as if it's normal, started screaming at them and shit. a fascist on the outskirts started being transphobic to me so i spat at his feet and he punched me in the head lol. it was a completely pathetic punch so i was more or less fine. but put me in a really bad mood so i just turned around and went home instead of seeing a friend that day like I was meant to. i feel like i did the right thing but it was also a little reckless cause i was on my own. but they're definitely not sending their best anyway.

This is still one of the most harrowing stories in here. Glad you are okay. Thanks for sharing and punking that dumb fascist tho

glad i could share. yeah, i was satisfied that i decided to do at least something, the lucky part was that i decided to just walk away instead of fighting back which would have been really foolish. the guy alone was no threat to me but i could have gotten jumped by the surrounding fascists if i escalated. the thing i couldn't bear was seeing all the regular folks just standing by and watching, that really disgusted me and made me see red.
