    There is no legal or verbal defense against this madness.

    Once it spreads, historically, industrial levels of violence are the only way to try to put the genie back in the bottle.

    I’d rather small scale intimidation against ringleaders like nick, than having to bomb the fuck out of some redneck stronghold in Missouri in 10 years.

      My opinion is clearly unpopular here and I’m ok with it. I don’t think it’s cool to normalize violence (or threats of violence) even if the recipient is abhorrent. This isnt a “oh let’s all have free speech, let’s here what maga has to say” / platforming type of comment/opinion I’m sharing. It’s a “I’m not going to normalize violence especially because I don’t want it turned around on at risk people.”

      Y’all are free to have your own voice on it, I’m just sharing my view.

        The violence of the oppressors is normalized because they can pass laws to enforce it. The only violence you’re opposed to is the defense of the oppressed.

          No opinion on the matter at hand, I’m just throwing out there that saving a woman’s life when she’s bleeding out due to lethal complications in her pregnancy is illegal until the last second in many states (let’s see how Project 2025 will impact that in the future). Appointing the kind of special counsel that has been perfectly normal and legal since like forever? Illegal the moment he investigates Trump. Doing crimes? Illegal. Doing crimes as president? Immune, according to Trump’s Supreme court sock puppets…

          What’s legal and illegal only depends on how many judges you’ve bought these days.

          PS: Oh and all that brazen bribery shit that would get any other official not just fired, but straight up locked up? Perfectly legal but only if you’re a Supreme Court judge. Guess who got to decide that? Go have a cookie if your guess was the very people accepting the bribes.

          Untrue. I’m opposed to violence that involves innocent bystanders.

        So let’s say nobody dozed this guy. Do you think that is going to stop anything you are afraid of?

          One of my fears, aside from popularizing the practice, is mistaken address, and innocent people being hurt. So yeah, it would sure help that 100%.

          Regarding the first point, I believe doxxing high profile people does indeed popularize it, so yeah, it would help that too.
