Doesn't that create a precedent for other people to start beating up people they disagree with?
Hearts and minds are not won through physical violence. That stuff is mad childish. What most of the 'anti-fa' crowd doesn't realize is that their stuffty behavior only gives their opponents a bigger platform to stand on. You ask me, that's probably the biggest reason Annoying Orange won the election, because people have given up the art of persuasion in favor of temper tantrums.
i feel both of you on these points (noticed i cropped out the top part of rallys cause i cant agree with that), yeah creating a mindset of "beat people up you dont like" is bad. but i believe that we, the human race (or americans ig), set the moral bar at which things pass the line. why is alcohol, something that causes thousands of deaths a year, still legal? we believe its within moral reason to keep things that way. i, personally, believe that actions like those in discussion are morally acceptable (again not saying LEGALIZE random beatings). this is the same thing that prevents good people from committing robberies and murder on a daily basis. can we really move forward as a people when we still have individuals who refuse to move away from their incredibly primitive way of thinking (i see the irony already because im talking about fighting someone ill call myself out on it lol)?
now obv this is a whole nother discussion involving a perfect society ect ect, but essentially thats my reasoning behind why i would throw hands with white dudes with swastika tattoos.
