    The hostile environment in this thread is inciting and normalizing violence, misinformation and slander and needs to be reviewed and locked by a responsible authority.

    I'll take that to mean you don't care, while still presuming to speak on what everyone is thinking.

    I think this whole thread is pretty tongue in cheek.

    If the mods things it's getting out of hand, they'll do something about it. Imo, from what I've seen, it's pretty benign here.

    It's a great thread. It's just the usual alt-right trolls and our residential Nazi enthusiast getting all up in arms.

    hey, maybe instead of playing moderator you could take a second to think about why a thread about punching fascists is making you get defensive and feel targeted.

    It's been a tough gig for the resident alt-right on JCC, they're struggling to come up with ways to defend fascism without looking like fascists themselves.

    Nah, six months of existence and ten pages of content suggests no1curr. It's a thread where the thread starter posted pictures of Captain America punching Hitler on page one. Donald Duck is a recurring character. There are also several comments consisting mostly of words that rhyme with "fash".

    Unlike you, this forum has a sense of humor.

    Inciting violence against Nazis tho, who aren't real people and deserve to be brutalised.

    Also, l do like how Hef is fretting about the normalisation of violence against a group of fellow traveller anti-intellectuals whose twin banners - the Confederate pornstache or whatever it's called, and the National Socialist Swastika - were banners raised by people who waged war against the United States. So unless you've a specific pre-emptive concerns about the fourth Geneva Convention being breached, it's a really tone-deaf and historically vapid position to take.

    As befits American conservatism.

    I wonder if people were asked if it was okay to punch an Islamist in the face, if they would answer the same? Why are western fascists exempt from being attacked, whilst Islamic fascists clearly wouldn't be?

    In my personal case I wouldn't personally go looking for fascists to punch - but if I was confronted by a Nazi and he started spouting any of his crap...

    The answer is that fascists are the Worst. Really think I didn't have to explain this one.

    Not only are they hateful, genocidal monsters, they are also gauche and singularly lacking in taste or (no pun intended) breeding.

    It's amazing how the master race always has an underbite or their eyes are just a bit too close together, or there's some weird nervous tic.

    But you're a huge fan of the empire which borrows much of its fashion/symbolism from fascists.

    Yes, my point is that clearly white fascists are given way too much lee-way compared to the (mostly) non-White variety, especially given history. You would agree that Islamists are essentially fascists of another variety, even if it's based more around religion and less around 'race'. This is why a world of just fascists would end even without nuclear weapons - it would all work down to the last two tribes destroying eachother and the final tribe destroying itself through self division.
