Good entirely depends on your perspective. Conservatives also use violence to create what they perceive as good outcomes.
The difference is that fascists use violence to supress everybody who is different instead of being inclusive and accept differences.
Ridiculing differences is a step into the dark side that shouldn't be made.
Yes, by definition. What is your point? We all agree murder is bad so we put people who disagree with that in jail.
Not just Conservatives, everyone does this. Any society with laws will need to use violence to enforce those laws.
Can you be more specific? If I make fun of a fat fascist today, how does this result in me become a fascist or a fascist state arise?
It's not so much that you become a fascist but that third parties see you body shaming and it stops being possible to argue that fascists are bad because they do body shaming or make fun of other minorities.
No it is very possible, fascists directly and indirectly kill a lot of people. Sure they can also call me fat but I can just say at least I don't end up killing a bunch of innocent people. See, easy!
The killing is hypothetical in the build up phase so people don't take it serious. The insults are real and could be used to show the difference.
Then we come back to the problem that no one cares. Insults are what gets peoples attention. Look, everyone was being nice about all the fascists in the US and now there is killing. So go us!
Now there is the threat of killing in the US. Look at Iraq, the killing has been there for a long time.
Insults give you attention but so do boobs. People cannot care because they struggle to survive.
To make them care give them something to build. Time spent on anger about Trump is less time building a social support network.
If people don't think there are problems why would people build solutions? Are you offering your boobs or someone else's boobs?
There is a problem. It's not Trump's penis. Show the problem.
I think we're going around in circles. I've already answered this. I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree here. I haven't found many of your arguments terribly convincing. I'm sure the same is for you on my arguments. Our times are probably better spent elsewhere.
Yes, let's agree to disagree. Thanks for the conversation.
