40% of teenage boys believe women lie about domestic and sexual violence: new research (theconversation.com)

Support for violence to resist feminism was highest among adolescent boys (28%), followed closely by adolescent girls (21%).

Perhaps most alarming: roughly 40% of boys aged 13 to 17 agreed that women lie about domestic and sexual violence.

These results raise crucial questions going forward. We don’t yet know how these views have changed over time, whether they are on the rise and what the links are between violent extremism and the negative treatment of women.

Violence against Nazis isn't bad.

Misguided children aren't nazis, but that could very quickly become a self-fulfilling prophecy if you "bitchslap" them and call them nazis.

Suddenly the only people willing to reach out a helping hand to them are the actual nazis.

You know how cults prey on the vulnerable, right? By giving them a place where they feel they belong, and slowly but imperceptibly indoctrinating them into their ideology...

Real Nazis or people who disagree with you? Almost every time someone uses this violent rhetoric, it's thinly veiled excuse to use violence on someone who has a political opinion they disagree with.

But it also does absolutely nothing to fight the ideas themselves, and they can metastasise in others. Like killing say a leader of Iran and then his kid takes over, ain't shit changed.

"We fought a war about it last time," yeah and we won, which is why there are no nazis now right? Right?

Unfortunately the only way to pull these people out of the fire would be to actually treat them like people, and actually educate them properly. But that's hard and saying KILL EM is much easier.

we didn't kill all the nazi's, we let them spread out and proliferate across the world cause $

Well we killed a lot of them but we did also do that whole Operation Paperclip thing for sure I can't deny that.
