Maybe because we're not stroking off while fantasizing about mass murder? Just a thoughthttps://twitter.com/PhilosophyExp/status/1130799409753726976 …

What's that got to do with anything? The Right will just come up with their own version of your maybe, and apply it to you. This is what happens. It always happens.

They already have, though. That's the point. They've already picked out who they want to annihilate, and they're already taking action to do so. We didn't start this fight, but I'll be damned if I'm going to pretend it isn't happening.

When Hitler was first building the Nazi party he would deliberately stick posters up announcing meetings in communist areas, because he knew it would provoke confrontation. You people think you'll win any battle on the streets, but it's a high risk strategy. What if you don't?

The best defence against the encroachment of fascism is strong institutions of political and civil society. You undermine that by playing your macho political games. Antifa are narcissistic political children playing a game they don't understand.

Yeah, no. To pick just one example: Mosley's British Union of Fascists—which had friends in many of those very "institutions of political and civil society" you mention—was eventually defeated not by civil debate but by bloody street fighting.

So don't presume to lecture me about an "ahistorical" worldview. You may not like direct action, but it works. Indeed, history shows it's about the only thing that does.
