:kelly: sounds like an UNcivil war is brewing.

    The downside is that you're critically supporting fascists. I don't support some white ethnostate freak threatening to kill democrats, even critically.

    All that does is terrorize the general population, and fascist terrorism is bad, actually.

      Right-wing infighting is self-evidently good for the left. Fascists murdering other fascists is a good thing, there's no reason not to support it.

      The general population isnt gonna be targeted by the same people targeting congresspeople. I'd argue the perpetrators of those two types of crimes do not overlap. If they do start to overlap, that's when the support ends, obviously

        This does not translate to "critical support to fascists killing liberal politicians" what are you on.

        The intent is obviously to spread fear to "democrats", do you thin hogs can tell the difference. "My critical support will continue until I realize the incredibly obvious consequences of fascist violence."

          Liberals are the moderate wing of fascism. Fascists killing fascists is the definition of infighting.

          Fair point about the effect on the general population, maybe I'm underestimating how afraid regular people would be when they hear that some ghouls in Congress got merked

            You definitely are. Fear is the point with shit like this.

            And yes, liberals enable fascism. Which is why if a fascist killed a liberal politician who had enabled them, I wouldn't cry over it - fucking around and finding out and all that.

            That doesn't translate to "supporting" fascists in any way.

              Well that's what I meant originally when I said critical support. My support in this instance doesn't go any further than saying "lmao owned" on the hexbear thread about it and moving on with my day

                That's not critical support. This is the like the Ashley Babbit struggle session yesterday - people laughing at her aren't (and shouldn't be) supporting the cops.

                Fascists - you do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them.

                  I didn't see that struggle session so idk what you're reference specifically so I guess I'm just using the phrase critical support wrong, sorry

                    Good for you, honestly. Wish I hadn't. :yea:

                    And yeah, critical support is for guys like Assad, not random fascists killing other enemies.

                    Edit: the other thing is that yes, liberalism creates the conditions for fascism and leads to it. However, that doesn't mean that fascists killing liberals is a positive development. It's indicative of a growing strength of fascism which is, of course, bad for the proletariat.

                        Because Assad is

                        a) not a fascist

                        b) the leader of an independent country, and leader of the political force which keeps it stable and livable for its inhabitants

                        c) resisting american imperialism, which is related to point b

                        Look to Libya or Iraq for examples of what would happen if America unseated his government.

                        Why would you even compare him to a random rabid American chud? The question isn't "what's the difference", it's "what's the similarity".
