    I’m sorry, I’m too busy dealing with my rights being trampled and taken away by these monsters along with other life stressors to care about your moral grandstanding.

    Yes. Fuck them. Fuck anyone who supports them for “economic anxiety” or whatever BS rationalization they use to blind themselves, and fuck anyone who is still giving fascists the benifit of the doubt.

    There is no middle ground, no high road, when these people literally want to kill me and my friends. I am exhausted by the last week along and have long been sick of people treating fascists with kid gloves.

    The idea that people think I’m as bad as they are for standing up for myself while they inflict violence on me. Every step of calling fascists fascists and it’s called “hyperbole” or “hysterical”. Because acknowledgement of what they say they will do, have been doing, and are doing means their lives might be disrupted, that they would need to do something.

    They do. We all do. But most people aren’t. So, I’m focused on protecting me and mine. If you wanted a world where all we do is finger wag at fascist then something should have been done to stop what is happening right now…

    But now, I have no sympathy anymore and grow tired of liberals, and honestly not a small number of the left, saying we should be above that. That ship sailed a long time ago.

    If you are privileged enough to still feel like you are above that, then fucking do something so those of us who are the current targets don’t have to defend ourselves alone.

      I wanted to write a long reply, addressing each and every point of yours, but we’re past due that point.

      So allow me to throw the little rationality I try to use when addressing this kind of subject and instead just talk from my basic instincts.

      I don’t like fascists. I don’t condone them. I denounce their actions, ideas and ideals. And I’m not afraid of them.

      What is being done currently in the US is a crime against humanity, by a criminal regime.

      You are in your right to want vengeance, to want payback for all the evil you and your friends have been targeted with. You want blood. And, sincerely speaking, you’re owed it. And I hope others like me, over there, are willing to fight by you, for you.

      What I also and sincerely hope is that when the time to fight back, by force, comes, that resort to brutality does not become a call to unchecked violence.

      So, fight back. Fight with all you got. Fight until you either drop or win. But please, please, remember you are not like them. Your victory is not about persecution; it’s about ending it.
