Discouraging open and free violence in the streets is now a sign of being a nazi sympathiser. The situation we are in now is exactly what the nazis were hoping for because for the average person in the street its two packs of violent thugs attacking each other and anybody else who gets in the way. Fox news is running footage of some masked antifa attacking some stupid old lady with a flag and dragging her along the ground for 20 odd meters. She was probably there to shout about how minorities are a problem and should be shot or deported but you don't see that in the clip. Its normalising violence so that when Trump says both sides are at fault a lot of people think yeah black block and nazis were fighting each other and innocent bystanders got caught in the crossfire.

Its too late to hope for decorum now because its already at the point of people willing to kill each other. Probably the best thing that can be done is for black block to form lines outside soft targets like synagogues or black churches and prevent the far-right from approaching. Taking the fight to what started as a legitimate, 1st amendment protected rally and causing city wide bedlam will only make things worse.

Look at this concern trolling bullshit

Financing the Continental Army was a collective effort throughout the colonies. The revolutionary soldiers themselves had to pay for it. It wasn't until the war was won and a real government established under the Constitution could start collecting taxes that the Continental Army could be truly paid for. They also stiffed veterans on the pensions they were promised, and a full pension program for veterans wasn't established until 49 years after the Revolutionary War.

The first amendment doesn't protect nice speech, it protects all speech.

To attack people whose ideas you find disgusting is not OK, and the climate of thinking that vigilantism is the way to go will not help either. Antifas don't only attack "as a response" to violence, they attack as a reponse to an ideology.

Hell, antifas are now even attacking the Aclu because they represented the Nazis right to march.

announcing your intention to form a white only ethnostate is not speech. It is a declaration of violence and an expression with the sole intent of intimidation.

Racist fascism is not an "idea." It is a racist system of politics that relies on the spinelessness of bootlicking liberals in order to take power and deny the rights of everyone around them. Accusations of "vigilantism" imply we do not live in a climate where white supremacy as a structure is the very foundation of our militarized police force. Marginalized communities have no voice to oppose fascist uprisings outside of organized resistance that at times includes defensive violence.

Good. They're Nazis. You can carry water for them all you like, until they take power and piss in your bloodied mouth for thinking they would respect your democratic norms.

"But but... the ACLU!!"
"But but... Chomsky!!!!"
"But the SPLC wrote this thing!!!"

:sad:

Falling back on higher authorities to dictate a climate of inaction against rising fascism is nothing more than liberal bootlicking, and reveals your desire for little more than an authoritarian control over perceived chaos.

All the while, a wide coalition of people including the marginalized are rising up and standing up to these Nazis in the streets, even as they run over peaceful activists and murder women, and you seek little more than to finger wag and demand "civility."

You don't have to go out and punch Nazis, and not everyone can. There's plenty of ways to support the people that do, whether it be supply donations or financial contributions, etc. However, demanding that people not stand up to a violent fascist uprising is utterly pathetic and deranged.

You realize that the ACLU had people resign over allowing the Nazis to march and they subsequently released a statement saying that they would not protect armed demonstrators' rights to assemble right?

You'll do fine under a fascist regime, why don't you just say that? It would save us a lot of time trying to convince people who admit they cannot conceive of the collective agency of the marginalized outside the approval of established institutions.
