Being soft on people who want you dead or to suffer or anything other than let you be, is not the right approach. Being soft on people like that has worked literally zero times in history.
How does killing a bunch of Nazi directly lead to authoritarianism?
I've been at the rallies in Portland this summer where fascists flew in from all over the country just so they could confront our liberal city and project white power on our streets. They are in fact fearsome thugs and goons. They show up and number 400 all serious and wearing battle gear. We show up and number 3000. We have clowns, a band and we aren't really prepared for a fight. Don't want to really. They stay behind police barricades for protection because large crowds intimidate them. The few that break out, are confronted by Antifa. The goons are pretty good, I'll give them that. They have broken a few skulls this summer. But the numbers scare them back. Once they start scuffling, police break up the rally. So far, it's working. The key is numbers. We outnumber them 4 or 5 to one. We shout them down and make them look ridiculous. More importantly, we are the locals they are not. We show up in the thousands not just to resist fascists but to send local politicians a message that they had better change their permitting policy or face consequences at the ballot box.
The thing is, we won't let them march in our streets. We surround them and keep them contained then blast them with counter messages. . After seeing the large crowds, they moved their demonstrations to non-federal sites where concealed carry is allowed with a permit and they put the city on notice through the press. Our next step is to convince our city government to disallow their protests. I hope it doesn't take shooting deaths but it looks like that's the only way to force city hall's hand, just like it did in Charlottesville.
Pricks like tty haven't a clue what's going on.
