Latsot in really very good comment shock: https://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2019/08/09/awesome-band-becomes-awesomer/#comment-2006353 … And the violent rhetoric of Myers & his commentariat, most of whom would faint dead away at merest hint of violence, or indeed going outside, is pathetic.
Vigilante violence is almost always wrong. Part of the reason is that by definition it has none of the checks & balances required to ensure retribution is proportionate (which is the lowest hurdle you need to clear before you can even get started on a defence of retribution).
You don't know anything about the random Nazi in the street you want to maim. You know nothing about his childhood, education or mental health. You have no idea whether he was brought up in appalling circumstances. Yet despite this you claim the right to maim him. Well fuck you.
It's bloody Americans again, isn't it? They can't escape their puritanical past. The European left tradition in which I grew up was all about structures & systems. We saw individuals as being moulded by circumstance. Culpability belonged to structures (or at a stretch classes).
PZ and all those other keyboard warriors in that thread: 'Yeah, punching Nazis is kewl!!' All of them would cringe away & punch nothing. Don't forget, this is the same bunch that feared being 'triggered' if the Westboro lot showed up at one of their conferences.
I know, mate. It's a pathetic spectacle.
Sounds like a serious assault in front of lots of witnesses. Police might have something to say.
Even when I was a regular reader of FTB, I was disgusted by the viciousness of PZ’s horde. It looks like things have deteriorated.
