      Hate speech aside, feds that encourage a system “of the people, by the people, for the people” are okay with me.

                I’m egalitarian, as in that’s what we need more of. Violence as a starting point isn’t a plan. It’s just somebody who feels the need to mutilate flesh, coming up with some bullshit to justify it. The only exception is a literal fed propagandist astroturfing for violence to undermine any cultural or political actual development.

                You’re not a nerd, nor being silly. You’re just hiding behind that now.

                  As an egalitarian, you must be against the state since the state is hierarchical. We need to build alternatives to the state on the basis of mutual aid with horizontal power structures. This isn’t easy as long as the state has the monopoly of violence and can demolish everything we build. If you have an idea to get rid of the state that doesn’t involve violence, not even in self defense, I’m listening. Until then, self-defense it is.

                    You’re almost starting to form a coherent plan. So far everybody has just said KILL KILL KILL. They had no plan, nor do they want positive outcomes. They just want to mutilate flesh, and they came up with some bullshit to justify it. You have 0.01% more of a brain cell than them.

                  No one who self diagnosed themself as egalitarian seems to know what that means. It’s a pretty worthless identifier since that’s not even a political structure at all. It’s an economic philosophy. But whatever. Just stay home, okay champ?

                    Nope.

                    No one who self diagnosed themself as egalitarian

                    Oh yeah, those guys, who are everywhere.

                    It’s a pretty worthless identifier

                    boo hoo

                    It’s an economic philosophy.

                    It’s also about equality generally

                    not even a political structure

                    You almost said something intelligent here. Now, what “political structure” are you interested in, beyond murdering people? Because that’s the only thing you violence-fetishists have drooled out so far.

                • You’re not a nerd, nor being silly. You’re just hiding behind that now.

                  Wat?

                  I’m certainly not as nerdy as I used to be, but I’m more nerdy than the average person. Idk what that really has to do with anything though

                  Calling you a nerd was just a silly way to express that I think you’re a lame liberal/centrist

                  I’m not hiding behind anything though. I think violence is necessary. It’s not a starting point- it’s a reaction to the violence that has already been levied against us. The state tries to maintain a monopoly on violence, and I think that’s absurd. Violence is the only thing they understand

                  violence is bad, stabbing and cutting someone is bad.

                  but cutting someone to remove a cancer is good.

                    Trump-like rhetoric. “roUnD eM up!” You have no desire to help anybody, just mutilate. Repulsive, violent, and stupid. You’re a right-winger.

        And stochastic terrorism is okay with you?

        As long as it’s some other nutjob that kills some people and gets killed or jailed for life and negatively impacts the non-violent resistance movements, I guess it’s all okay with you?

        You’re like that annoying kid in elementary school that’s always trying to get the other kids to fight for your own amusement. Psychopath behaviour.

              Lol you tell on yourself too much. The people using violence in that scenario was the Jews. They rose up and used violence against the Nazis that were oppressing them.

              We all know what side you’d be supporting, considering your adamant stance against those who use violence. This is exactly how liberalism enables fascism. Enjoy sitting on your fence while you still have it.

              half a million civilians just lost their civil rights, nazi Germany isn’t just a metaphor or a rethorical example, it is what the republicans are doing.

              It is a literal matter of self defense and survival.

                Seems a little confusing of an analogy to choose with all the antisemitism going on these days.

                Also not sure why you’d choose an uprising that failed to overthrow the Nazis, with many of the people involved dying in the attempt or dying in death camps shortly afterwards. The most of those that survived all of that immigrated to Israel or the US.

                I’m not sure what you’re saying your goal is when this is the analogy you choose.

                  if you can’t see the parallels, then you likely identify with the guards.

                  antisemitism? where?

                  I’m Jewish, been to Palestinians protests, talked with Palestinians, the only antisemitism I see comes from right wing grifters.

                  If you can’t tell antisemitism from antizionism, then you’re antisemitic, for assuming all Jews are Israeli supporters, and that an apartheid genocidal state represent all jews.

                    Just search for “palestinian protests at synagogues”

                    If you’re protesting at a synagogue in Canada you’re protesting Canadian Jews, not Israel. You’re against Jews in general, which is the definition of the word “antisemitism”.

                  Wow I wonder why people who needed an excuse to hate Jews would suddenly become emboldened. It’s not like the racists give their art school reject daddy the pass for being a Jew himself. They would never co-sign Israel’s terroristic acts, not even if the TV told them that Muslims are the REAL enemy. 🤪

                    So you’re making excuses for antisemitism instead of speaking out against it? You’re more afraid to do the right thing because you’re afraid of what your little hate group will think of you.
