Supporting violence is clearly different than the violence itself. That is not to say one is better than the other. It's saying that one will need an ambulance before the other ... "my dude" / "you didn't kill your wife" / "you don't get to tell the judge" / "that logic of yours man" / Bud.

Supporting violence is clearly different than violence... You really are doing some fancy mental gymnastics. If only you had the mental capacity to not be shit.

The only reason people get away with violence, is because someone is supporting it. If you enable it. You're just as culpable. "I didn't deport this baby, I just support the people who did, how about we find common ground..."

Pick a side here and stop being a coward. You're with the fascists or you're not. There is no fucking common ground with ice. That spineless middle-ground "I want them to deport babies but I also want to sleep at night" bullshit of yours, it says more than enough about the person you are.

Punch the Nazis! Make them feel unwelcome. There is no place for racism and hate.

Stop being a coward. Take a stance, pick a side. Tell us who you really are.
