In relation to this, thinking about a new community for Political Activism. Calls to action, that kind of thing.

The rules would be super simple:

  1. Purpose is for protest organizing. [Country, City, State]

  2. Absolutely no calls for violent action.

  3. No links to fundraisers. Too rife for fraud and abuse. Stories about fundraisers would be fine, but no GoFundMes, etc.

Think there’s room for PolticalActivism?

    Invoking Sherman and talking about ‘dealing with’ people isn’t political critique — it’s glorifying violence. You can call it whatever you want, but threatening harm under the guise of history or ideology is exactly why the rule of law exists. If your argument only works when backed by intimidation, you’ve already conceded that it can’t stand on its own.

      There’s no argument to be made with you. Others tried. I’m just letting you know that your own pigheadedness will have real world consequences. You have fully bought into the lies of the fascists. The rest of us can see the evidence. The cop is a murderer, not just a criminal. You are an accomplice.

        Telling someone they’ll face ‘real-world consequences’ for disagreeing with you is a threat, no matter how you dress it up. Disagreement over evidence or law does not make someone an accomplice to murder. That kind of rhetoric abandons reason entirely and replaces it with intimidation.

          Fuck off Nazi. This will never be a Nazi bar.

          Your lies have no support here.

          We have your address, and your name because you kept responding. I’m a veteran who actually will defend The Constitution. You are a Nazi. The only good fascist is a dead one.

          Fucking weirdo.

            This is no longer debate or political speech. You’ve made explicit threats of violence and advocated killing people you label as ‘Nazis.’ That is harassment and criminal intimidation, not constitutional defense. Disagreeing about law or evidence does not make someone a fascist, and threats don’t become justified because you invoke ideology.

                You’ve now explicitly stated an intent to kill people you label as ‘Nazis.’ That is a direct threat of violence and criminal intimidation, not speech or debate. Disagreement does not make someone a fascist

                  Defending fascists doing Nazi shit makes you a fascist, a Nazi, an accomplice, and a target. You’ve explicitly defended fascists doing Nazi shit and spread lies. You existing is a threat to everyone else.
