If what he loves is a hurled brick, he’s welcome to as many as he’d like.
Frankly I have no patience for ‘that’s just want they want!’ as a kneejerk response to any backlash against diet Nazis. They’ll claim victory no matter what happens. That’s part of what makes the fascists. The nature of bad faith is that there is no right answer.
If this pattern means the only headlines about this asshole go ‘asshole hit by [object]’ - great. Beats reporting any of the garbage flying from his face.
I think we need to keep being better than them. Not get dragged into the mud with them.
Can you point to an example in history where this worked? Because all the examples of successful big changes (womens right to vote for example) have included mass uprisings, and violence directed at those in power, and often their financial interests.
Nonviolence resistance has had successes. It’s a great way of winning over public opinion.
Here, it’s the establishment resisting regressive forces of change. The Nazi grow when they can show the established ways in bad light. “Look how those woke liberals are. You don’t want to be like that, so you want to be with us.”
Like those Andrew Tate videos that aren’t directly him, but a laughing response to a video of “liberals” responding to a video of his.
How’d we solve the previous round of Nazis? Polite patience and understanding?
Identifying when people threaten everyone you love and telling them to fuck right off is being better than them.
I’m not saying we tolerant intolerance. Just not we shouldn’t be first to violence. Milkshakes fine, rocks, not fine. Mock them don’t hit them.
