    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".
