Pseudo-God posted:No, I just have higher principles than you it seems. You have worked yourself up to believe that all your enemies are irredeemably evil so it's ok to attack them wherever you find them, not realizing that over time, the circle of enemies expands more to include first Nazis, the Nationalists, then centrists, then anyone who defends these people. It is possible to have universal principles that apply to people you find reprehensible, because ultimately THEY PROTECT YOU when then the other side gets power. How much do you honestly think universal principles will protect you when you're not the one in power?

Pseudo-God posted:So you can clearly see, as I can, that our system is heading into a dangerous point where citizens will start turning on each other at some point in the near future. Unlike you, I see the act of punching people in the streets, no matter how reprehensible their views, is only going to accelerate this process. If people start getting in their heads that physically fighting their opponents is ok, it will only make things worse and lead to the collapse faster. If it takes the destruction of an ossified political culture that has placed so much wealth in the hands of a few, so be it.

If you're unwilling to fight for your ideology you never really held to it in the first place.

I've not seen a good example of how principle is capable of protecting people from nazis, but hey, that's just me.

Personally I think normalization of political violence is inevitable. It's time we as leftists took advantage of America's gun laws, bought some handguns and rifles, got some time at the range.
