Paradox of Tolerance
It’s okay to punch fascists, and the dude in the photo is one.
Well, you believe what you want. You can tell the cops all about it when you start punching people that you believe to be the fascist… or you can advocate that Democrats pick a winning candidate to beat Trump. Even if Trump wins, you can participate and run in your local and state governments to help protect the rule of law without punching people to try to force their votes.
Punching fascists does not make you a fascist. This is a dumb rhetoric - Tolerance of intolerance was always a trick used by fascists and other evil people to allow this crap to flourish
Now, saying people are fascists for wanting to punch a fascist in the face… THAT is something that makes me wonder
