First sentence. You said violence is right for self defense from bigots.
In general, sure, violence is right for self defense from physical risk. but hate speech is not that.
Edit someone breaking into my home and stabbing someone is not someone saying hateful things to me.
Your comment is junk.
So everything I've said is true, and you admit you were full of it in your initial comment.
I never said anything about the girl in the story. You're making shit up to disagree with because what you said was wrong.
Thanks.
Nearly nothing you said is true because it was predicated on the above situation and my comment you replied to.
Being called a racial slur is not a reason to us violence.
Further, my comment never implied anything inconsistent.
"Source? Or mods should remove misinformation.
If she did say it, violence is never right, nor is hate speech"
In this comment I called for information confirming a racial slur was used. Then, I state that even if it was, the victim of that hate speech was not in the right to use physical violence as a response. Lastly, I make clear I'm not giving a pass on hate speech, as it is always wrong.
Edit my statement "violence is never right" is specific to the situation of response to hate speech, essentially non self defense
The word never is not for singular occurrences lmao.
But whatever 5 page bullshit narrative you need to weave to feel better, have at it.
I'm speaking about a specific situation and clarify it in my statement. So basic critical thinking makes clear the scope of my discussion. Sorry this confused you.
Anyway, your hostility is super uncivil.
Sorry you expect people to read your mind instead of your words.
Don't be a hostile prick if you don't want a hostile chat. Of course, you cry victim after being disrespectful to everything said to you.
🥱 cya
Edit you wanted to rant about stabbings and corporations rather than asking for clarification
Lmao, can't even stop changing the comments after saying bye.
Am I not free to do so? I used an edit catch, which is proper form on a message board.
Do you feel the urge to respond with violence to my words?
