To a lot people, the analogy is that the dangerous criminal with a gun has already broken in and is aiming the gun at them, they’re in survival mode, and are not looking for non-violent solutions. I get your perspective, just trying to show you why so many are saying to “shoot the Nazis”.
I think you missed the point. I mean Justifiable homicide. That’s exactly how grave the threat here is, and not just for minorities.
e: for the record, i am the most non-violent person i know. I won’t kill a fly, even flies deserve to live. I have no such feelings towards Nazis
I was on the waiting list for a therapist for months, finally got to see her and the clinic is suddenly forced to stop gender affirming care. I don’t know the details, something about funding. But Aaaargh!! On the bright side, my therapist is still happy to help, just that her hands are tied on HRT, but she can be creative to provide me support and care. Still not sure what I’m going to do, still trying to figure myself out
I think for a lot of people, they’d normally be right there with you, and as you mentioned with self defense, the more people are pushed into survival-mode against someone hell-bent on destroying you, it starts to feel like destroying Nazis is the moral thing to do. Are you familiar with the Paradox of Tolerance? If you tolerate intolerance, it will take over society, so one could argue you must never tolerate intolerance. With Nazis being the real world embodiment of this paradox, extending that reasoning, the morally responsible thing to do is to destroy Nazis any time and place they spring up.
Trump is inciting riots so he can use it as an excuse for Martial Law.
And buy out bankrupt companies and liquidated assets.
I’m convinced he’s trying to incite riots for martial law, and force an economic collpase so he and his cronies can buy up the bankrupt companies and assets.
