Crazy responses huh? If it makes you feel better, after they chase off any voices of reason, these type of people resort to eating eachother.

Indeed. One has to understand that the people calling for violence in these threads usually never get to the stage of wondering what happens when their circular reasoning is used against them

Fascinating

What is the voice of reason for fascists?

[–] Salamand@lemmy.today 0 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's a good question.

One problem with "fascists should be met w violence" is in the lack of definition for fascist. I can tell you, in my experience, saying something like "I don't want universal healthcare" is enough to earn me the label of "fascist" in leftwing forums like Lemmy and Reddit.

If the logic is "people who disagree are fascists, and fascists deserve violence" or more simply "people who disagree deserve violence"... well isn't that what fascists say??

Do you agree that that example at least highlights a serious problem in the chain of logic?

No, that’s you and others being petty, that’s not fascism. If you want other people to be dead on the basis of who they were born as and attempt to make those ideals a reality you are a fascist and death for you would be a net positive. Don’t be a crybaby, be realistic and stop being such a reactionary child.

Edit: And that is not reason, that is just myopic self justification. If you have the problem that people are constantly calling you a fascist and you’re not arguing for death camps and absolute authoritarianism, then the thing that’s going on is that you’re just an insufferable and controlling asshole.

Edit: Also, point blank, supporting fascists makes you a fascist.
