how incredibly privileged and sheltered do you have to be to think that when dealing with a group of people that wants you dead, a government/media that allowed them to rise to power, our priority is “seeming to be in the right” to “impartial observers”??? first of all if someone is “impartial” about fucking nazis they’re wrong, period, and will never do anything tangible to support human rights. i mean shit they can’t even condemn fucking nazis. second of all who is still under the impression that violence isn’t an effective way to keep nazis from becoming more powerful? survivor after survivor of the Holocaust has said that debating their oppressors was useless. every time an alt-right fuckface gets punched or doxed they talk about how they’re afraid to show their faces in public or talk about their plans for “ethnic cleansing” publicly. this means they don’t have the social influence to gain yet more followers and sympathizers. this is exactly what we want. this is how we stop them. this is how we could’ve stopped a Trump presidency, and the decades-long political decay that allowed it, if we weren’t so naive.
who is still under the impression that the corporate media won’t control the narrative to the point that the facts are irrelevant to public opinion? did yall ignore Ferguson? did yall ignore the election? are yall ignoring the fact that there are people who support a gag order on scientists because they’re reporting scientific facts the current regime doesn’t like? the assumption that we can count on fair treatment by these supposed “impartial parties” is glaringly false if you put any amount of critical thinking about the context into it. “oh but mlk was successful!” mlk was demonized and assassinated by the govt and then years after his death turned into a Nonviolence Figurehead that white Americans bring up solely to delegitimize protests they don’t like, erasing the majority of Dr. King’s message and beliefs in order to do so; pretending his work is “done” although we still have to march for the worth of black lives. besides which, the govt of that time supported him because they wanted people to turn away from the black nationalists and militants. Dr. King’s success was due largely to the fact that people were willing to be violent in pursuit of justice. i’m not even saying violence is always the most effective way to protest- i’m saying that sometimes it is, and when that’s the case, your scorn should be directed at the people who created the conditions so dire that average citizens are willing to riot and vandalize. not the people acting out of desperation and rage.
in order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. america has lost its conscience long ago. america stopped considering it “wrong” to generalize entire peoples long ago. america stopped considering it “wrong” to take away people’s rights in the name of “safety” long ago. in today’s america it’s considered wrong to be too rude to people advocating genocide because “it’s their free speech!!!” even if you ignore morality, the fact is that nonviolent resistance to the rising fascist movement has failed. we absolutely must be willing to protect our fellow human beings by any means necessary, or accept the fact that we’re turning a blind eye to atrocities.
