    I don’t like Nazis as much as the next guy, but given a choice between beating up Nazis and getting laid, I think I’d prefer to get laid. Ya know, the whole “Make love not war” philosophy.

      I’m not really for beating people up in general, unless it’s necessary.

      If possible, try and change their minds (it has been known to happen).

      Violently resist their attempts at capturing any sort of influence though, which is the point the US is at it seems.

      Nazi salute, straight to jail (which is what recently happened in a Victoria, Australia. A funny comparison to the US)

      You’ve got no romance in your soul, you’ve got to woo her first by doing a couples activity. Also it’s good cardio.

      Nazi or not there’s no shot I’d be able to kill people with a crowbar unless they are also actively trying to kill me

            You meant that you’re more comfortable being killed by a Nazi in a government office signing some paperwork than being killed by a Nazi who uses their own two hands.

            Drag doesn’t really understand that kind of mindset. Dead is dead. Danger is danger. And treating danger less seriously because it wears a suit and tie will get us all killed.

              It clearly doesn’t matter what I meant because you insane idiots will just invent things and pin them on me to strawman your stupid arguments.

              If you can take a crowbar and kill someone with it, when you’re not in immediate mortal danger, you are a danger to society.

              That take is pushing on a marginal understanding of that person’s position.

              It is easy to understand they would not engage in violent action unless forced to do so in a life or death situation. And that is understandable. Implies the person has a conscience.

              Unlike the extremists currently trying to overtake the world.

              It may lead to the point where we will have to resort to force to end that trend but it does not mean we have to do it gladly.

                We should take joy in our survival. When the lion kills an antelope, it feels the thrill of the hunt. It enjoys the taste of the meat. Killing is a horrible wrong and meat shouldn’t be eaten. But the lion doesn’t have a choice. There are no vegan lions. And if the lion must eat meat, then it should enjoy eating meat. Evolution made it enjoy eating meat so it would have an easier time surviving.

                We should do everything we can to make our survival easier. Like the lion, we should learn to find joy in living another day. Like the lion, we don’t have a choice on whether to use violence. There is no time for us to have empathy for our murderers. We should meditate on these feelings until we’ve overcome them.

                  That is a complete false equivalence.

                  The rethoric you employed can be easily used to uphold the cause you are very poorly trying to denounce.

                  We are not lions. Unlike lions, we can, to a degree, foresee the outcome of our choices and actions. That comes with the notion that every choice has a consequence.

                  The times we are currently enduring are the consequence of passively allowing ideas that were actively destroyed, by force, in our recent past, to gain traction again.

                  The millions of lives lost in war will be wasted, both of victims and soldiers, if we allow ourselves to fall into that path again, something which is looming, but to engage in the same rethoric and acts we should be denoucing will make worst than those we are fighting.

                  If things come to such point, were we will be forced to pick up arms to kill each other, we must not do it with ease of mind. We are not butchers, we are not murderers, we are not indifferent to suffering and misery. We must fight because we have no other option left.

                    The times we’re enduring are a consequence of forgetting that killing Nazis is the best thing the western world ever did. We’ve become a culture that abhors violence and tolerates intolerance. And that’s not an accident, it’s a propaganda campaign. The government wants us to be passive and toothless. So it tells us that the only legitimate use of violence is the state. It tells us to follow the law and trust in the system.

                    The system is broken! The time to fight is now!

        Irrelevant.

        You and your date enter said room with a crowbar apiece (I’m bringing a modded spade), and the roomful of fascists gathered there, what, just stand and meekly stare at you both? Get on the ball. Don’t let go of the crowbar, but cut everything else loose, citizen. Clock’s tickin’ and that fuckin’ you’re here for ain’t starting until the room’s freshly painted.

        So like 3,5 min for fighting and 3,5 for fucking? I’m almost 40, I can’t get it up in 3,5 minutes.

          You a quick study on skulling fascists? Only 3.5 mins for a roomful seems like a walk-in closet at the most, but maybe you’ve been practicing for the big leagues. Commendable foresight, citizen.

      Well if you’re both in there together nobody says you have to leave the room immediately. So both?
