You've got guts! Come to my village, I'll buy you lunch.
Like if you were loudly discussing your bowel movements in a restaurant and attempted to defend this by saying how it's a perfectly normal thing for friends to talk about, it would be a reasonable to start with either "nah that's a little weird" or "context matters" because both are true.

Okay fine person who tends to antagonize me for no real reason, it is my fault for being near people talking loudly about the twist in a movie in an environment where it was very likely people are going to see it. Sorry for bothering you.

I'm honestly too tired to argue about this poo poo and am still anxious about dying on a snowy mountain tonight and/or missing the chance I have of seeing Colossal at this festival. If I do not post again after tonight, know I died attempting​ to see an Anne Hathaway giant monster movie.

It was just some poo poo from when the film was in the early development and pitch stages for investors - the filmmakers used Godzilla strictly to give money-people at Cannes ideas of what it's about, Toho got wind of it and got pissed, missing the point completely that the monster was never going to look or behave anything like Godzilla. The lawsuit went nowhere and was settled out of court. Toho even covered their own legal costs. It was more of a big misunderstanding than a scandal, so we don't have to worry about the international kaiju renaissance being deterred.

As cool as it is to see the dumb neo-nazi talking head get punched, though, affecting actual change against the aligned executive and legislative branches is going to be much more complicated and treacherous.

Really though I see a lot of people on some "direct action will stop them" and I'm like, theoretically, but in real terms that means interfering with the carrying out of the law, which means coming up against the executive branch, who are better equipped for this kind of thing than the frog meme man. I worry about that.

If half as many people came out to stop the police from rounding up immigrants or muslims as came out yesterday, the police could never succeed. They are reluctant to murder white people who can't be written off as radicals or criminals. If there are enough media left by that point to show it to the world, we'd be in civil rights movement territory.

When a dude is literally calling for black genocide, I think it's probably okay to punch him in the face.

I have bad experiences in general with far-left groups, and the DSA looks pretty similar to the ISO and CPUSA. I'm currently trying to figure out the surely-dreadful aspects of the Progressive Labor Party. I'm hopeful, but hearing that a predominantly middle-class white party had some degree of contention with the Black Panthers doesn't make me optimistic.

It's not. We're better than that. Our weapons are ideas, reason, and truth.

Now, violence is more than justified as defense, but don't be the one to throw the first punch.

Yeah. Personally, I don't advocate for violence for two reasons: One, because violence has consequences for the perpetrator, and I don't feel comfortable advocating for someone else to assume the consequences of jail time or just getting the poo poo beat out of them, especially if I'm not willing to risk the same. And two, it's not a viable long-term political strategy, especially when the other side is much better equipped to dish out violence.

But if a guy explicitly and publicly calls for genocide, then guess what? He assumes the consequences of potentially getting his teeth knocked down his throat whenever he shows his dumb face. And nobody is gonna feel bad for him, nor should they.

Anyway, I'm just upset that the video of him getting punched set to Hatebreed got taken off YouTube :(

yeah this.

Also decorum, debate, etc., is how these clowns get legitimacy. They don't actually give a drat that Richard Spencer got punched in the face because their ideology is violence. They'll throw a fit about it for show, but acting like they're entitled to their opinions minimizes the horror of what their "opinion" is.

The problem with saying we should use ideas and truth to fight nazis is that it frames the conflict like it's a debate between competing legitimate ideologies, which is not actually the case.
