Frothing at the mouth raging at someone on a social media platform doesn’t do anything but cause more radicalization, so I just ignore people instead. I don’t spend most of my life fighting with people on the internet over politics.

Are you deadass actually suggesting that people are transphobic ableist nazis because communists go after nazis online?

or are you saying that it radicalizes more people into avid antifacsist communists, which is an unambiguously good thing (unless youre on team nazi)

This is a real question, please answer.

You won't push back on fascists, but you can't shut up when pushing back against people who believe in pushing back fascism.

cause more radicalization

Its been pointed out multiple times now that this is literally a fascist talking point. Pushing back against fascism is not what makes people fascist. In fact its how we protect the targets of fascism on shared spaces online or off.

As has also been pointed out to you some people just existing is seen as an incitement by fascists. What are they supposed to do? They can't just ignore threats and the invalidation of their humanity. That you can shut your eyes to that says a lot about you.

They can do whatever they want.

I don’t care what other people do, I just ignore people I don’t think are worth failing with.

And yeah pass judgement if you want, but how I choose to deal with people on the internet is up to me.

Yeah, and you're a bad person for choosing to act this way. Points for owning it though tbh

And yet here you are failing.

Great to hear that the targets of fascism "can do whatever they want." They don't have a choice in the matter of being a target, unlike you obviously.

I've already told you this but our goal isn't to change fascists minds. Its to drive them away, to shame them. To not allow them to spew their bullshit or attack their targets without resistance.

Pushing fascists out of our spaces is the only way people whose existence is targeted by fascism can actually "do whatever they want."

I have no goal here. Just sharing my opinions. Not failing to do anything.

Yeah being aggressive is good for driving people away. And yknow given that your goal is actually to drive people away I was wrong to say it’s immature.

I just don’t like aggression. I don’t go on the internet looking for fights.

Your posts are "just sharing your opinion"

Our posts are "aggressive"

Pure lib shit.

We're sharing our opinions, because of the things you said. Maybe you're not looking for "fights," but you know how to start them

These skidmarks actively call for America to get nuked/civillians getting the wall and then turn around and project their fascist bs on others. The only group more representative of fascism today is maga.

You can just block them, fastest way around it.

Good luck.
