One time it wasn't a bigot, but an old guy taking creepshots of college girls on the light rail

Edit: If you're going to argue against my meme, then why don't you tell me what you expect me to do when I see someone hurling epithets and slurs against brown people or trans people, or homophobes calling me a "faggot" and spitting at me? Just sit there on my hands like a useless log?

And moreover, if you've come here from other instances for the sole purpose of calling me names, I'm going to report that shit and message your instance admins. There is NOTHING about my post or comments that is attacking or insulting anyone, unless you're a creep or a bigot.

I'm not going to sit idly by while others cause harm.

Remember to always stand up for what's right. Ignore the ignorant people who tell you not to. They're part of the problem.

This is an essential part of mutual aid

You just called me a coward while shoving a strawman in my mouth. Take a playground insult in stride if you're going to respond to polite explanations by acting this shitty.

I didn't call you a coward. I said the people who stood up for me aren't cowards.

Oh, it's some other status-quo-defending strawmen you're projecting nonsense onto. Because making shit up and going 'nur nur nur, that's what you sound like' is sooo much more civil and constructive than 'here's why you're wrong, butthead.'

Also - bit ironic running for the mods, yeah? In your post about not needing a state? You'll brag about scrapping with actual fascists, outnumbered ten-to-one, but you'll tattle to teacher if someone uses a no-no word. How dare they! All you did was strongly imply they're a morally weak defender of fascism.

Meanwhile. Back at the point: relying on interpersonal violence to guide behavior kinda favors violent assholes. For reasons I really thought were obvious. Nobody's out here saying only the state can guide behavior, but this image you've posted keeps resulting in these conversations that confuse you because you are in fact describing a mob. Focusing on when the mob has good reasons does not change that.
