three paragraphs of bullshit.

You did not have to go out of your way to admit your lack of reading comprehension, but I appreciate you for doing so anyway! 😆

i read it, its just all nonsense. this non-violent solution bullshit needs to get lost. You are part of the problem.

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What "non-violent solution bullshit"? I never said that violence was never an acceptable solution (in fact, nor did I even use the word "violence"), just that it should be called what it is.

But if I am part of the problem, let me ask you this: what acts of violence have you personally carried out recently to fight fascism? Or are you part of the problem too?

you sure fucking insinuated that it was.

[–] bitcrafter@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

Nope, that was entirely an invention on your part. Recall that my actual words were:

It is much better to acknowledge that blowing up the building is a non-peaceful act and then examine it critically in order to determine whether it is really worth it, then to dismiss it as being peaceful which makes it seem like it is not a big deal.

If, after examining it critically, you decide to go ahead, then so be it; you just shouldn't skip that step because blowing things up is kind of a big deal, even when merited.

(Believe it or not, I actually try my best to choose my words carefully in order to convey my position as clearly as possible; I cannot help the fact that people do not seem to put as much care into reading them in return.)

By I am extremely curious about how you would respond to the question in my comment, though:

But if I am part of the problem, let me ask you this: what acts of violence have you personally carried out recently to fight fascism? Or are you part of the problem too?

I would also add that if the answer to the first question is "none", then: why not?
