Force used to oppress, and force used to oppose and defend against those who use force to oppress, are not the same and it truly enrages me that they are treated as even in the same category or a somehow comparable threat.
It’s subtle shit like this that fuels the “don’t fight hate with hate” nonsense in liberals and centrists (don’t be fooled by the superficial progressive takes, the Guardian is as much a part of the propaganda machine as the S*n and the Daily Hail, they just cater to different demographics) that is, in part of course, keeping us from rising up against the few that oppress us.
I’m with you. Intolerance of intolerance is a different beast and is absolutely necessary to maintain freedom and liberty. When are people going to figure out that even the smallest capitulation to fascism is an automatic loss?

Don’t buy in to it.

Who is opressing you?
The state?
So less state better
Only if you ensure their spot is not replaced by corporations.
Sure. People will opress you, not corporations.
Corporations oppress us every day.
