    Yeah, I mean how many of those here constantly saying resist are willing to take a gun and kill another person here? Build a bomb and actually use it? Are they willing to support those who are willing to use violence? House them, hide them, protect them?

    We’ve seen what the other side is willing to do on January 6th, they’ve shown they’re willing to resort to violence and condone it.

    Will the left be willing to actually do this? Because that’s what resisting fascism means.

        So what’s your solution to fascism? Trying to shame them by pointing out their hypocrisy? Appealing to their sense of empathy? “Slamming” them for their behavior in a tweet?

        I wish more people could understand the brutal reality of these situations without having to live them. It’s not just chanting and throwing a punch or three, and then going home. It’s going to be horrible and nothing will be the same afterwards; a lot of people we love are going to die, and the outcomes we want aren’t guaranteed, even if we win. If it’s a fight that has to happen, then it will, but nobody should be looking forward to it even grimly.
