Fighting fascism means actually fighting fascism. On every level.

So are you "fighting fascism on every level", or vicariously living through twitter videos of dorks like Richard Spencer getting socked in the face once in a while and going "drat that was awesome (it was sort of awesome tbh)" like every other acab?

ngl, your posts make you seem a tad sheltered and, dare i say, privileged. don't know if that's the case, but if it isn't there's a disconnect there, and you might wanna look into that

that said, people involved with various Interesting Offline Dealings tend not to post about it for obvious reasons, so if anyone reading this does post about their real-life potentially-illegal possibly-political stuff i implore you to not do that

That seems to be the actual people who took part in the revolution depicted in les mis, yes.

Like there is an entire scene in the book of several of the revolutionaries asking other people to build the baricades nearer to them so that they can continue having a talk in their local wine shop.

iirc a fair few posters were involved in various Interesting irl stuff last summer at the very least. not really "undercover vigilantes" or anything, but, you know

also, theres a whole forum for active military personnel and vets (that is, folks who literally have been taught to kill people). so while your assessment of an average sa poster as a "terminally-online lump" might hold in some (many) cases, you'd be surprised

all that said, while "only trust your fists, police won't help you" comes from a videogame, i'm certain that for quite a few posters here it's uncomfortably close to their actual situation and lived experience. dismissing it as larping might come off as being in bad taste

e: it doesn't come from a videogame, apparently. lol

Okay now this is an unpopular opinion.

I mean nation states "eh" but pasta is great. It's much easier to do well than rice and tastes better.

I just threw out all the pasta I had when I moved. I got noodles from 2011 still. It just isnt worth the time or energy to make it. It's nothing but filler on a dish. Just like rice it's pure filler

It's really pathetic and sad. I'm a little embarrassed to be posting on this website where people pretty commonly post that kind of garbage.

Those political ideologies sound like something that would only work in a rural cult or if everyone spontaneously decided that it would be OK to return to the Stone Age.

Yeah, it is not hard to govern 30 self-selected, like-minded people especially when you have the option to exile someone and send them back to real society whenever there is a difference of opinion. Any government system would work. It is a much harder problem to govern a modern cosmopolitan society of millions of people.

lol

Well, gee, I guess that's anarchism destroyed by logic and reason. I'm surprised they hadn't considered your objections before now!

What about retired cops from the USSR? Does this extend to KGB torturers? How ideologically pure does the government have to be before policing becomes acceptable?

The police in Finland have real guns, but they are extremely cautious about using lethal force after a cop got fined like 1000€ for shooting at a car that then proceeded to quite illegally explode with people inside it (there were explosives in the car).

e: To be more precise, a cop responsible for the operation got fined; I don't think he shot at all.

Just because they shoot fewer people in a year doesn't mean euro cops are good.

Like yeah compared to american cops, they're way better. But they still aren't there to aid minorities.

I live in Canada, the country that far too many people think is "nice" and "progressive" yet cops here are still worthless garbage who are a greater threat to me than any other demographic.
