If you’re in the wrong place, I’m here with you. There are ways to deal with people that aren’t dehumanization and vigilante mob justice. We’re 4 days past the election. I think we need to see if society can pull through and avert disaster with less escalation and violence.
E.g. there are a lot of legal challenges being prepared for the militarized internment camps that Trump campaigned on. Also, the things he promised are simply outside the logistical scope of agencies to provide. “For one, it’s entirely impractical from an operational standpoint. The law enforcement capacity needed to both secure the border and carry out mass raids in the interior of the US simply does not exist.”
Maybe things will get bad enough in the US to justify a civil war or something similar. It’s happened before (although even then it wasn’t just whoever felt violent killing each other - it was war with rules). Or maybe things like legal challenges, impossible scope, and half the nation’s disapproval will keep it from getting to that point. I’d like to keep extrajudicial violence off the table until we know.
Nazis aren’t people
Don’t dehumanize any group of people and imply violence against them is ok.
I think I’m in the wrong place
Violence against self-identified Nazis is 100% ok. We had a whole big war like 100 years ago about this
You are correct. That’s what Nazis do. Don’t sink to their level.
Amen. Defy the urge to race to the bottom, even if it’s borne out of genuine, understandable grief and frustration.

Are you really arguing we should all be nicer to literal Nazis? That’s the group we are talking about.
