        Oh I love the last line. “An idiot could operate it, and indeed many do.”

        Bloodlust seeks any acceptable target. Be suspicious of your own instinct for violence. Fascists also think their violence is righteous.

            There’s a broad range of responses between murder and tolerance. Your bloodlust makes you the same as the people you’re so horny to mutilate.

              Oh, weird, I initially read the comment you’re replying to as agreeing with your position. Like: ‘we can’t allow our side to hate, or casually joke about killing, those who disagree politically with us’ But after reading your reply I can see it being meant either of two opposite ways.

    This is why we’re fucked. The only tool to fight violent fascists is more violence. That’s why I’m looking into relocating to another country. USA is brimming with violent assholes who can’t wait for an opportunity to lash out.

    I just hope violence is kept at a minimum. Most of the people where I live are Trumpies (well the older crowd especially) and they truly are just totally oblivious. They certainly aren’t evil. It’s so unfortunate because these are people I’d say are good people. They’ve never killed or directly harmed a soul to my knowledge. I just hope if there’s violence that it’s targeted top heavy because we all know who the problem(s) are and they could probably be counted by any tally counter that goes to 1k. AKA don’t focus on the manipulated, focus on the manipulator(s).

    Please note this is in no way condoning any violence outside of Minecraft

      Not directly harming people doesn’t make you good or innocent. Hiring someone or enabling someone else to do your evil for you is still doing evil. It may be excusable to say that the first time they voted for Trump, it was an accident. They thought he would disrupt Washington but was essentially no worse than the rest of the politicians. After that, they would have to purposefully ignore everything that he has done. At this point they have seen the true face of Trump and they’re still choosing evil.

    That Hitchcock meme is great! But for anyone else who wanted it to be real - it was originally a cure for insomnia, not fascism.

    Always hilarious when the anti-2a groups post anything revolving around using firearms.

    You’re so close to understanding the 2nd amendment…we welcome you.

    Downvote me all you want. Fascist don’t stop using force because you created a meme.

      What?

      Have you ever considered that you are crafting a subjective world around you that doesn’t exist? Nothing about this post has anything to do with firearms or the United States.

      It’s a commentary on the need to respond to those who use force to dominate others, with force. The firearm, bat, or otherwise is a metaphor representing appropriate uses of violence (to overcome a fascist oppressor).

      Being able to understand and interpret images and text is a skill you should have at least learned the basics of by high school, otherwise you end up misunderstanding the whole world and spend your life angry at things while everyone around you looks at you and thinks, “What?”.

        Yes because I forgot how the nazis were defeated…with words and thoughts and prayers.

        Also right now in Ukraine they’re kindly winning by sending strong worded memes and letters.

        And Myanmar, they’re also fighting with just words.

        You people are delusional if you think you can defeat authoritarian fascist with kindness and words and voting.

        The only reason that fascist listen to is force. Get over it. Nothing in this world is given when it has been already taken by force.
