    Sorry if that flew over your head. I still refuse your premise that I condone the violence of bigots if I don’t support stalinist death squads.

    Defending against a bigot’s violence is self-defense. Executions by death squads aren’t.

      Nothing flew over my head, you’re just trying to muddy the waters.

      I am the farthest thing from a Stalinist, and I am not in support of death squads.

      What I am in support of, as I mentioned in my comment, and knew you would ignore (I went back and highlighted it for you), is giving them plenty of opportunity to stop being bigots (they get them every single day). But when they continue to refuse - meaning they are actively threatening the lives of marginalised people, I am no longer obligated to care for their safety nor tolerate their behaviours, which they openly declare they are willing to kill and die to preserve.

      The fact that you and others here are more concerned for the hypothetical safety of the bigot in this thread than you are for the actual safety of the people they are an active and very real threat to, says it all really. You only support self defence on your terms, but you’re not the one being threatened, so that’s not how it works.

        Yeah. That’s self-defense. I never claimed I was against self-defense (It’s a meme, buddy).

        The fact that you and others here are more concerned for the hypothetical safety of the bigot

        Never said anything of the sort. Please stop twisting my words.
