all i can say is if you and your friends showed up at a three-percenter meeting and pepper sprayed them, they'd beat the gently caress out of you and/or shoot you and not make any apologies for it

Yeah. "Adults don't react to a pepper spray attack by open carrying next time" is only true if you think leftists are the only adults; right-wingers absolutely respond to that sort of thing with escalating personal force, and liberals respond to even the threat of mild inconvenience by involving the police and professional security who carry guns.

The biggest one was against the constitution changing, but that was a while back. What's happening more is the pushback against the far-right who constantly do demonstrations.

The #1 Threat to Ba Sing Se

Guns are good but if neonazis came to a dsa meeting and lined everyone up and started systematically executing them, and you heroically shot and killed the nazis while they were in the process, and the whole thing was recorded on video so there was no ambiguity about it whatsoever, you would be charged with murder one for not only the nazis that you killed but also the dsa members that they managed to execute before you intervened.

Guns are good and cool and have defensive uses outside of actually killing nazis. If you are being systematically harassed by nazis you can post pictures of you at the range on Facebook, or clean and maintain your guns on your front porch if you live in a house. Both of these publicly show that you are capable of immediate lethal self defense and can be extremely effective in preventing your harassment by neonazis, because they are do not want to die, even if it would also mean your death. You could also just wear a glock shirt or something but you will end up in conversations you do not want to have with people you hate.

The idea of "just get a taser or pepper spray or a baton" is dumb as poo poo because the purpose of self defense is not to present some fair fight, it is to use overwhelming force or the threat thereof to secure your safety. Also batons and tasers are generally illegal for civilian possession. Also if neonazis show up and pepper spray you and you pepper spray them you are the one that is facing long term consequences.

Additionally, the idea of "if they show up and start some poo poo you put them six feet underground" is dumb as poo poo because we do not live in a TV show.

Honestly, anything the left does to defend itself will be turned into proof of treason and/or terrorism. Figuring out ways discourage what is in essence state-backed violence really just creates more "warning signs" for the powers that be to look out for. The question isn't "how do we avoid police harassment," it's "how do we counter it?"

Obviously, this doesn't mean you can go hog wild against the nazis, even if it is morally and ethically justified.

Tasers are heavily restricted by municipalities and club laws are a morass that basically amounts to "illegal if the cop doesn't like you"

there are many violent things you can do to fascists that 1) won't endanger bystanders and 2) won't leave anyone dead. immediately escalating confrontations with fascists to use of deadly force is bad and plays exactly into their narrative

btw antifa has yet to respond to fascists provocation with deadly force so what is that tweet supposed to mean in this context, exactly?

Innocent people. I could never hurt innocent people.


Not Louisville, but I'm part of the security team for a DSA local. The response to violence from fascists is something to consider very carefully. Shows of force are pretty much the only thing they will respect, but will use those against us to the best of their ability. A good comrade of mine almost got arrested for the crime of forcing his way in between a fascist wailing on a lady.

I'm lucky in that I live in a liberal bastion so that we can without fail massively overwhelm with huge numbers. Doxing is a tactic that works fairly well with smaller numbers. And in small groups often times just standing up to them firmly and strongly will chase them off. They're looking to terrify you and if that doesn't work they'll leave.

I remember they tried really hard to prove they weren't freaking out about Mafia III and its black protagonist with white racist antagonists. My only criticism of the game is that there aren't enough racists to kill. And if you don't play it with the Black Panther skin and the AK-47 you are playing it wrong

Why don't the cops attack Fritz? Does Fritz know why?

Fritz is the white privileged college educated liberal's worldview. And it's not very healthy to be a crow around him and his attempts to reify his ideals.

Edit: Ideals espoused by the privileged is divorced from personal consequences and its effect on the oppressed, even if they are the correct ideals. Perhaps if the crows had developed community self defense to the point where these ideals could be espoused by members of the oppressed, with the result not being a slaughter of minorities.

It's a critique that I'm afraid might have gone over your head, AGB. It's certainly gone over the heads of many DSA.
