I get the motivation, I’m just sharing my opinion that I can’t follow, because I personally believe other innocent folks will be swept up and hurt in the process.
I am no friend of these maga types. I think people here are very angry about these people (edit like Fuentes… Rightfully so!, I am too.) and my comment is perhaps seen as “defending”? Him. I am not. I just don’t think this is the way to do it.
Again: I get what you’re saying. And again: I do nominally agree.
What I’m saying is that you’re looking at the trumpians/maga/proud boys/3%ers as “weird republicans”. They’re not. You need to be looking at them as NSDAP/Nazis/Sturmabteilung. Because that’s what they are. And the want to kill a whole fucking lot of us, because it gives them a hard-on.
Moreover, I’m not saying that we should be conducting overt, systemic political violence now, but I AM saying that we need to be fully prepared for that eventuality. And to that end, we should be looking to the Maquis, as well as the Polish + German resistance throughout WW2.
I see resistance against their ways as clinging to, and calling for maintaining norms (when norms are ethical, reasonable… I fully acknowledge even without maga MUCH needs to be improved in America). It is my belief that by normalizing their tools, we institutionalize their methods. We, by participation, make common what should be extraordinary.
It is my opinion that resisting fascist drift is resisting. Others don’t see it this way and are claiming I’m an apologist or something. That’s too bad cause fuck nick Fuentes. I just don’t like doxxing.

We are aligned on what they are.
