The thing you're missing is that I don't disagree with his viewpoint.

I think a lot of the folks in this comment section are used to arguing on Twitter and Facebook. I will gladly agree that Nazis do not add value to the world, and their lives ending is a net benefit for the rest of us.

As I told @RegularGoose below, the problem is when you lead with that.

When I go to any demonstration, I never forget that just because we're all there and possibly chanting the same words, that doesn't mean that we're all there for pure reasons. There ARE people who will identify as your allies who are seeking to indulge in violence, and there ARE people who are there because they are undercover agents of state power, seeking to entrap you. I am NOT criticizing OP's philosophy. I am offering a warning about what everyone should be aware of when they see this person out on the street.

The thing you're missing is we can see you're just lying and digging your heels in, and it's still not going to work.

You took the post and automatically assumed OP was some bloodthirsty stereotype, and we know this because your response to his post was, and I quote:

I’m gonna be the guy to say why I don’t like this. <-- As in you are talking about OP

Anytime I see someone apply dehumanizing language to a group of people – no matter how vile – I immediately wonder if this person <-- AKA OP is motivated by a desire to protect anything or if they are just excited to have found an outlet that allows them to indulge violent desires without jeopardizing their social standing. <-- Meaning this is how you are purposefully mischaracterizing OP and people like him

Meaning you're a whacked-out fash-in-sheep's-clothing liar and no one is falling for it.

Repeating your lie with more words will not make us believe it.

Smearing anyone who supports violence against Nazis as some tired old sterotype won't work either.

You're not going to convince us to stop supporting OP or people like him. We don't want anything you're selling, move the fuck on.
