Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, appeared on Glenn Beck’s radio show and slammed “South Park” as “so lazy” and “petty” after she became the Comedy Central series’ latest target.

“It never ends, but it’s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem told Beck about the episode, while also acknowledging she did not watch it because she was “going over budget numbers and stuff.”

“It’s always the liberals and the extremists who do that,” Noem added. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”

Nope.

Rules are different with fascists, because their followers don't give a shit about real problems.

What hurts them the most is turning them into a joke over stupid shit. They literally need bullied to show the idiots they're not "alpha".

Doesn't really matter if bullying is ethical, it's fucking fascists and no matter what they're a fair target. The fact that it's the most effective strategy for changing their supporters opinions...

That's just gravy

We've got this clear moral distinction between words and violence, where violence is justified as long as it's in response to violence.

This is like that, but with shitty, bad-faith, morally repugnant speech. Maybe we need a special word for it or something, because dealing with these people this way by default is the right thing to do.

There is a term for it: The Paradox of Tolerance. Fascists are healthily in the "fuck them up, no holds barred" camp.

Nope.

Never hold back against fascism.
