To all those who keep calling for acts of violence in the US I ask: how many will Dementia Donny kill in response?
Look man. Some people are very willing to do everything they can with their life on the line. At some point an end to your life is preferable to the state of oppression.
I'm convinced that many of the people calling for violence from the left in response to the administration's behavior are the same ones that pushed the right into extremism over the past 30 years.
Division and chaos are the intent and they're playing both sides to achieve their goals. The last thing they want is for people to sit down and talk to each other.
Oh yes, blame the rise of fascism on the people whose sole goal it is to stop fascism. Real genius here.
If someone punches you and says shut up or Im gonna punch you even harder, the correct response is not to shut up.
No one on the left has anything to do with the violence that's a core tenant of fascism and capitalism or corpratism if you want to get real specific. No one is egging the proud boys on, anymore than black folks existing was the cause of KKK bombings and terrorist attacks. These people aren't responding to anything, this has always been their goal.
Do you believe you have good reasons for thinking so?
I would be interested in seeing you lay out what convinced you. It seems to me that the only thing these calls for violence have in common is just that: they are calls to violence. How can you possibly draw any parallels beyond that without completely minimizing how unprecedented a situation it is we find ourselves in?
It abso-fucking-lutely smells like manufactured messaging. Aka propaganda.
