unaffiliatedpangolin: alaija: smarmygryffindor: tbh its important to popularize shit like “beat up/kill fascists” because you know damn well they’re willing to use violence and ppl have to be psychologically prepared for that…it’s not even necessarily about me hating them So Got Dang Much (even tho i do lol) it’s about wanting ppl to know it is acceptable and even noble to punch them in the fucking face for saying racist, bigoted shit and otherwise trying to assert their power over ppl and terrorize them into silence and complicance If only people like this moron ever read a book they would know that political violence and extreme intolerance is one of the things that made the fascists what they are. Anti-fascists are some of the biggest fascists. Okay so if someone tries to stab you it’s okay to defend yourself, right? Now, if someone announces they want to stab you and then shows you a knife, it would also be reasonable to try to defend yourself, right? Now what if a person produces a knife and tells your friend that he want to stab them? Is it okay to defend your friend? I think so. Now what if there’s a whole movement of people who tell you they want to kill you and your friends simply because they don’t like the look of you? What if this movement is trying to reach for the power to achieve these murderous intentions? AntiFA is self-defense. Arguing that the attack and the defense are the same is saying that you’d rather certain people die without struggle. Not going to die just because you don’t think fighting is proper.

Oh yeah these guys look like they are just out to keep the peace. These people with bats, batons, knives wearing all black with masks over their faces. It doesn’t at all look like they are out to start violence.

Now what if there’s a whole movement of people who tell you they want to kill you and your friends simply because they don’t like the look of you? What if this movement is trying to reach for the power to achieve these murderous intentions?



This paragraph equally applies to how the racists and fascists see the antifa. They look at these guys and think that they are out to hurt them and interfere with how they want to live.

They both mirror each other, and are in no way opposite. They are both willing to commit violence in the name of their political stances. They both wear masks and carry weapons because they know they are going to get into fights where ever they go. Fuck, even the god damn color scheme on their fucking flags are similar.

They are both equally bad. Fuck off with your “self-defense” bullshit these guys leave the house looking to get into fights.
