Ah, I did misunderstand you. I thought you meant compromise with the bastards.
Lemmy (and the internet in general) has a tendency for replies to be diametrically opposed, so I don’t blame you for mistaking my comment as contrarian. It’s an unfortunate extension of the hostile discussion culture.
If anything, I’d disagree on details, but not on the general sentiment: Being scared to make a move is human. Refusing to make a move because you value principle over intention is hypocrisy. Convincing others not to make a move is sabotage.
And saboteurs are at least as bad as open enemies, if not worse for their insidious pretense. In short: They’re bastards.
I don’t want to see firefights in the streets
I question the sanity of anyone who does. Fighting is a destructive activity. The best war is one that is never fought.
But as the saying goes: If you fight, you might lose…
but as ICE ratchets up the violence against regular folks I just can’t see us not having to fight them.
…but if you don’t fight (back), you’ve already lost. And this is a fight we really don’t want to lose.

Pragmatic and based. I appreciate your logic and your patience.
