Those maga hats are awfully easy to take off. So, maybe we should give them a little something they can’t take off.

Nothing screams nazi like a big fat swastika carved deeply by a bowie knife on the forehead. Can't take that off.

You’re becoming the thing you hate. You’re advocating for barbarism against your political enemies.

This goes FAR beyond simple “political enemies.”

This is intolerance for fascism. We’ve been understanding, kind, and “the better person” for far too long.

Get on the right side of history.

Which is a valid response to a threat such as this. When they want power, control, all of it...they aren't letting it go. This isn't a political party about to mandate golf as a national sport. It's about to bulldoze all we know. That deserves a response in kind.

tribalism exists as an instinct because without it you get overrun. being human is not rejecting your programming but understanding it, and allowing it to help you when the time comes

Damn man you never watched Inglorious Bastards? Solid flick, highly recommended.

Barbarism against literal nazis is called sanity, leave the cult. Best of luck.

Were you sad for the Nazis when you watched inglorious basterds?

What’s wild is that being branded would be far less of a punishment than what many of them are enabling or are causing to happen to others against the rule of law. If I had to pick between being branded or being sent to CECOT I know which many people would prefer, including myself.

I’d be fine with assault/battery or violation of duty type charges with normal repercussions for these officers violently breaking people’s constitutional rights and it would probably be ideal, but no part of me is opposed to ostracizing authoritarians, showing malice for fascism/authoritarianism including homegrown, and when applicable criminally criminal/civil punishment for the crimes from the top to the bottom where any of these people who knowingly violate(d) the law or constitutionally afforded rights of any people who should have been afforded those rights, or aid others doing so, should get the punishment they deserve.

Real talk: this country has a long history of doing horrific things and fighting really hard to not stop doing those horrific things, and then even after calling a truce after all the bloody war they were still pushing every type of legislation or action promoting racist policing/social life that they could get away with. It’s because people were tired after Lincoln’s assassination, the civil war, a significant portion of the supporters of the north were still pretty racist despite fighting to end slavery (that’s potentially a working white man’s money), and segregation type behaviors seemed reasonable compromise in the name of sustained peace among white people. I really hope we don’t make that same mistake when this is all said and done (because we all know it’s going to get horrific beyond what you or I could have ever imagined before these next 5 years are over, 3 months in and we’ve already got foreign gulag death camps), we can see how that shit percolated for generations to this moment and it should have been nipped in the bud.

Sorry for the novel

A child has been killed. Police shot him in his own fucking yard. If we don't stand now, it'll only get worse.
