      While I agree we should be cautious and fight back, that’s just not true. The Business Plot, for example, just sort of didn’t happen and fizzled out. This isn’t to imply nothing should be done, because we definitely need to work to ensure they don’t achieve their goals, but Fascists have lost to less than bullets. This also isn’t saying dead Fascists aren’t desired. It’s only stating that your comment isn’t exactly accurate.

      Saying the only way to fight back is by killing people leaves a whole lot of people doing nothing. There’s a lot more you can do besides picking up a gun. Your message plays into their hands, not ours.

          That’s probably true, but the fact is that it did, with no shots fired.

          Again, this isn’t saying what anyone should do, but there is plenty that can be done besides killing people. Almost no one is willing to do that, but there’s still plenty of space for them to resist.
