Not really “powertripping”. Just pathetic. Consider this a notice to avoid feddit.org… I’ve unsubbed and blocked the instance.
We can’t dehumanize fascists for their choice to dehumanize everyone for things outside their control though, because that would be mean, and hurt their sociopath feefees!
Europe stool idly by throughout the 1930’s “tolerating” fascism, and the Nazi’s killed over 100 million people. Don’t make the same mistake as the radical centrists of history. Fascists will not afford you the same tolerance or courtesy.
You’re ‘just talking’ right now.
If you didn’t believe that talking worked and violence is the only answer, then why are you here talking?
Are you a hypocrite, or just a coward?
You’re only wasting time and talking reckless so that you feel better about being helpless. You have no idea how to navigate the situation and, like everyone since the beginning of time, you resort to thinking that someone should do violence instead of talking.
But not you, no, you’re just going to hide behind a keyboard and anonymity and talk about violence.
The people encouraging violence are often the first target of the secret police in fascist takeovers and I highly doubt that you have more than a flimsy door between you and the goon squad that’ll be kicking it in at 3am.
At the end of the day by openly and wrecklessly talking about violence, you’ve alienated allies and made yourself a target.
This isn’t a game.
