The one fucking news item I've been checking for everyday for the last nine+ years, and the bastard missed.

User banned (2 weeks): conspiracy theories

When Trump led the insurrection to kill mike pence, the security operations also totally failed.
When Bolsonaro did the same in Brazil, also everyone kept asking "how did the police let this happen?". Investigations in Brazil concluded that in both cases, police leadership was involved in the wrongdoings, colluding with their leader, Bolsonaro.

It's not much of a conspiracy theory to think the attempt was real but was facilitated by security "failures" that could be very intentional themselves. Note that things with far right extremists are so crazy that they may even let an assassination attempt with the wrong type of gun play out just to grab power.

I think part of the problem is that we are unskilled at planning for these things on a large scale. The question isn't whether it's appropriate to fight fascists with violence, it's a question of when, where, and how to use it most effectively. I don't think assassinating Trump is an effective way to do that, and I think we are fortunate the attacker was unsuccessful.

I'll answer the question for you: you fight fascists when they first show their heads.

Fascists are not interested in conversation, they're not bound to respect the parameters of politics, and they're certainly not opposed to using violence as a political tool. So what do you do when you face an opponent who is stubbornly bloodthirsty, inherently disagreeable, and will utilize any means necessary to achieve their goals?

You hit 'em, and you hit 'em HARD. And yes, that will also mean potentially killing them because some will NOT STOP. What you don't fucking do is spread "Violence is never the answer" BS to people who are ALREADY under threat of violence.

Seriously, FOH with that nonsense. Can't believe I'm seeing so many posts that are essentially saying "It's better to lie down and die without resorting to violence than live and be an aggressor". As Malcolm X said, if someone puts their hands on you, put em in the cemetery.

Wars Sgt is really the mods favorite cuz Conrad got 2 weeks for advocating violence while Wars got 1.
