My condolences. I got straight up banned from reddit for pointing out that violence has historically been the most efficient/effective treatment for fascism, and that its likely that the longer we wait, the worse everything will be.
At the very least they need to be exposed as too weak to do anything so they can’t build a following. Fascism works on emotional power, so an emotional solution is needed.
I’m guessing the anti-LGTBQ marches going on in Canada today. Million March for Children they’re calling it but there definitely isn’t a million people marching, just a handful of bigots.
I'm not really capable of violence, even against property. I live rather far from there but I'll try to go, if only to witness things or be another body on the side of the counter protestors.
I dislike the narrative that the problems with Canada stem from the states. We export a huge amount of fascists and bigots per capita. These people live among us and it would be a mistake to brush them off as America’s influence.
But you should: Its people that make fascism possible, not monsters. Thats what make them so dangerous. The friendly coworker with his inappropriate Jokes, the old Lady that thinks you shouldn’t help refugees as long as [national] poor people are suffering, etc. Thats the front where fascism should be fought first. The moment they start waving their flags is a testament to all the times people didn’t tell other people to stop spreading hate. But you’re right: thats also the moment to show up in great numbers and show them that their ideas are not welcome.
I don’t think people hated nazis because they punched people. There was something else. Was it the hologram? No… hololive? Yes, but no. Holodomor? No, that was another guy. Any chance you remember?
If only Nazis use violence as you are implying, then the only solution to Nazis violence is submission. We've seen exactly how that turns out. Your implication is invalid and baseless.
The way to prevent violence is to stand back and watch as others call for and commit violence?
Inaction to help a persecuted group is siding with the persecutors. You aren't more intelligent, peaceful or high minded by sitting by, just more tolerant of assholes. Tolerance for others intolerance makes you their ally.
