So I am being called a Nazi apologist for asking why my sort of maga uncle should be put against the wall and shot. Am I not a pure enough leftist because I know and care about people that have been swept up by the propaganda machine, and hope for an outcome for them besides extermination?

It’s really disheartening to hear the people I would fight for and alongside, those I consider myself aligned with, so callously and vehemently wish for the death of such a significant portion of our countrymen.

Harder still is to have my commitment to something better for our country than blatant capitalist corruption questioned because I don’t blindly wish violence on the people I disagree with. You should consider yourself very lucky if you don’t have any family or friends that are seemingly lost to the hate machine, and have some compassion for the rest of us that aren’t so fortunate.

If somebody has something better to say that “Nazi Apologist”, and has some idea of how we might begin mass deradicalization, I am very interested in that conversation. If all you want to do is downvote me and sling an easy insult without considering what I am bearing my heart to say, that’s fine, it’s what I have come to expect.

Why? Why not try to avoid violence as much as possible?

You’re all so desperate for violence

WHAT. IS. YOUR. PLAN.

Say your willing to line up 30% of your countrymen to die.

Why are you discrediting a person that I am very confident has had more of a positive effect than you have? Why are you issuing purity tests?

Also, link us your Wikipedia page

What is your plan for all of the otherwise non radical citizens that have been so soaked in propaganda that they believe what Fox tells them? Do you have a plan?

And reducing my argument to “No U” is infantilizing and really just a poor insult. It adds nothing to simply accuse someone of a logical fallacy and give no context to the accusation.

I am also on the side of “Kill Nazis”

The debate is who qualifies, and you are being very extreme.

Do we exterminate a third of the country?

If that’s what you believe, say “We should exterminate a third of the country”

“people like you” is Nazi talk brother

You don’t know fuck all about me, and making assumptions like you are is ugly as fuck.

I am saying that your hyperbole is including people like my uncle you nonce, and it’s dangerous. We need to DeNazify, not exterminate. If you’re lucky enough to feel otherwise, congratulations I guess, either your family is “pure” or you’re lonely as fuck

My uncle is a Republican, always has been. His views have only become truly toxic since Obama was elected and a propaganda/hate machine that had been slowly building momentum dropped a gear and went over the horizon. So for less than a 5th of his life he has been an asshole on Facebook and voted Republican and you think he and everyone like him, in the entire country, needs to be exterminated?

Everybody on both sides is getting ready to kill their neighbors, it’s fucking terrifying.

Goddamn Loch Ness monster you ain’t gettin no 3’50’’ ballsack

So we need some sort of …red army…?

Shit is the Russian Revolution a better model for what America’s upcoming period of political violence looks like? Because the “Second Civil War” invokes ideas of a clean boundary between belligerents, akin to the North/South. But it’s obvious that it won’t be like that this time, and until now I hadn’t considered Russia as a better example.

That’s Supply Side Jesus, the one Evangelicals worship. He’s a dick

They are sort of like Vaults in Fallout, it’s seriously one of my favorite books. Phillip K Dick

The Penultimate Truth is a really awesome book about pretty much this, except they stuck the poors underground in Tanks.

They are acting like controlled opposition, it’s as obvious as your face in a mirror.

Holy fuck ChatGPT killed that kid!
