It wasn't that long ago that people warning about the risk of fascist street violence in the US were dismissed with eye rolls and warnings about the boy who cried wolf. Maybe those raising such warnings were just more perceptive than most, might be worth updating based on that.https://twitter.com/shanedkavanaugh/status/1052007616895807488 …

there have been plenty of marches with lots of legally armed guys without street violence. Patriot Prayer isn’t fascist either, as far as I can tell at a glance.

“Gibson denies this, saying the group is neither white nationalist nor alt-right and that they support "freedom, love and peace".[22] The group's stated aim is support of the First Amendment, free speech and to "liberate the conservatives on the West Coast".”

It’s pretty frustrating to have a conversation with someone when dudes they don’t like saying they’re not evil is obviously a lie but commies literally calling for guillotines is just bants. I’m not particularly worried about guillotine teams OR Pee Patriot death squats right now

Perhaps you can think of one or two differences between a few people joking about things on Twitter and groups of armed men setting up on rooftops around a protest in IRL. I'll start to consider the comparison when commies start bringing actual functional guillotines to protests

Dude go back to earlier in the thread and try to think of some differences between armed men at a protest (99.9 percent or more of which never shoot anyone or intend to) and “fascist street violence”

The commies on twitter thing was in response to you specifically saying their public statement was not a credible sign of intent, not to the original topic. Anyway I’m an idiot for not sticking to my original “bye.”
