The “violent rhetoric” on the left has been saying fascism is bad and needs to be defeated.

And look at how some people are suggesting we should do that.

Check the modlog for the news and politics communities over the last few days. It’s there. People have been frothing at the mouth with all kinds of suggestions I will not repeat.

I say again: we all need to chill a bit. I hate that this sounds like I’m defending the right (I’m not). Emotions, tensions, and rhetoric are very inflamed right now, and celebrating, praising, cheering on, or defending political violence of any kind is not what we need to be doing.

So, the right is correct for once, albeit for very wrong / bad faith reasons.
