Don't misunderstand me. I hate fascists with every fiber of my being and think they deserve nothing but :pit:, but at least they're up-front about the horrific violence their system entails and their willingness to slaughter us en masse if we try to create anything better.

It's the difference between the guy who stabs you in the chest while yelling "FUCK YOU" and the guy who stabs you in the back and then tries to act all innocent, wagging a finger at you for swinging back and talking about how unlike you, they absolutely abhor violence.

    MLK's Letter from a Birmingham Jail broke me. If someone is outright hostile to my politics, I can easily recognise them and confront them with the overwhelming force of a bully. Really kick the shit out of their head.

    If they cloak that hostility in the language of sincerity, they are a Judas goat. If they enforce the air of civility to mask the policies of oppression, they are a Judas goat. If they are one book away from learning a single thing about the goddamn world and they refuse to read that book because it wasn't written for children, they are a Judas goat. Liberals are the threat that lies about its status. Nothing more.
