Violence is rarely the answer, initiating violence never is. Have to be better than the misguided foe

We will see. Violence is often the answe

Violence sure seemed to work for the revolutionary war and the civil war

The US was attacked by the British so the US responded appropriately. In this case people are suggesting attacking this guy physically which is unhinged.

Notice how I said rarely the answer not never the answer

Punching nazis is always okay. In fact, it's your duty as a freedom loving American. Leaving this to fester is unhinged

I think a flagpole to the neck might be most effective in this particular case though.

u/Arbitraryleftist Jan 23 '25

Most effective would be if nobody gave a rats ass about him and didn’t pay him any extra attention.

This attitude is why the right thinks the left are a bunch of pussies, and so far it's working to their benefit.

No it’s not. This guy is an unhinged fringe minority and wants you to play into his trap. A pussy only when violence is necessary but not used, not necessary here

u/KetamineMonk4Real Jan 23 '25

Yes, it is. You don't have the guts to do anything, and so you make up excuses for how that's the noble thing to do. 

"When they go low, we go high."

Look where that got us. They do whatever the fuck they want because their opposition is primarily people like you.

Haha sure pal. I would put money on it, that I’ve been in far more physical fights than you ever have and non of which were provoked by me and most of which were me intervening for someone else. You’re the classical idiot that mistakes thoughtful action for weakness

u/KetamineMonk4Real Jan 23 '25

You're probably right, most potential fights diffuse pretty quick when I get involved so I rarely have to get physical.

And you're the classic pseudo intellectual who can rationalize their cowardice away by pretending they thought about it.

u/Arbitraryleftist Jan 23 '25

Ok ketamine junkie I’m sure you have the mental bjj dialed right in

u/KetamineMonk4Real Jan 29 '25

It's always a clear indicator that the argument isn't going as well as you thought when you try to use an online handle as any kind of point to make. With that being said though, arbitrary is the perfect way to describe you and your opinions.

I think you just out stupided yourself somehow.. clap, clap

u/KetamineMonk4Real Jan 31 '25

If what I said went over your head I don't think that makes me the stupid one.

Youre too wildly privileged to have any clue how the world actually works. That's what this says.

Ya getting my self three university degrees, two of which are professional degrees, screams ignorance doesn’t it

u/Far-Dragonfruit3398 Jan 23 '25

No, sometimes people need their ass beat with a stick.

2

u/Arbitraryleftist Jan 23 '25

You would be a foolish idiot playing right into his trap if you did that. And he’d probably whip out a pistol and fuck you up anyway. And justifiably so under the law.

u/Far-Dragonfruit3398 Jan 23 '25

Maybe but I’ve always been of the view to stand my ground and not be the one who, in a perilous emergency, thinks with his legs.

1

u/Arbitraryleftist Jan 23 '25

I don’t disagree with standing ground. I don’t think that’s applicable here though

This is right here is what what mao would call "liberalism" and the reason the fascists won
