All agreed but at the same time there's people who possibly aren't in a situation where they can punch Nazis and the moral support of people saying "yes, punch Nazis" does have a positive reinforcing effect worth expressing. Don't give these fuckers an inch.

Also Lee Fang is good and I think there is value to being self-critical of the application of violence to meet leftist goals.

I'm 100% behind punching nazis but if you're in a situation where this won't help your comrades and will just get you sent to hospital I recommend not doing it. There will be instances where the fuckers will be physically or numerically superrior, I know this from working in a place where this was he case, and you're useless to the struggle if you're crippled for life.

well duh you and your girlfriend probably shouldn't try and fight a group of 20+ assholes in polo shirts and should just get the gently caress out

Yea that too, even if you can't/don't feel safe doing it yourself, just agreeing 'yea, it's not bad to want to bash fash' is good to keep people from being made to feel ashamed for defending themselves.

Fang is good on the whole but he gets a bit too contrarian in the name of self-critical views for my tastes. Smart guy, but I've learned to just ignore a good bit of his op-eds and stick to his more hard journalism.

I didn't lift in years and now I'm lifting again and just after a few months I feel amazing and feel like I can fight at least four Nazis at once with my swole arms, "Stalin Was Right" and "Mao is Good"

yeah it's fine to joke around but if you can learning to throw a punch lifting isn't that hard, hell as our beautiful son felix shows you can do that and still be extremely online

Welp, seeing the usual slushy stream of steamin' hot takes is a lot worse when the usual liberal suspects are using the murder of someone in your town to freak out about the #AltLeft. I think I need to get off Twitter for awhile before I kill someone.

Now that I think about it, Rich would fit right in. Evans would connect with Stav over the laugh and overall stupidity, Nick would appreciate his racist chinamen impressions and Adam would see a fellow bitch and the butt of jokes in him. Kind of an amalgamation of the cum boys. A one-man cumtown, if you will. If only he wasnt straight edge...

Henchman of Santa posted:

Chapo is experiencing a much smaller scale version of the old Daily Show effect where they shouldn't be people's main source of political understanding, but they are and need to reckon with that.

It's also amplified because the left doesn't have mainstream voices so they are people's idea of socialist thought leaders. If you ask a non-twitter person who the most left wing voice in media is they'll say Bill Maher or someone like that.

John Oliver tried this too, by saying over and over again "I'm just a comedian." If a journalist says a building is on fire, you probably believe it. If a comedian says the same thing, maybe you do, so show some responsibility there.
