    So, the brownshirts, but under a different flag, and different justification, but with equal fervor. Check.

        If Stalin just followed a debate class and invited Hitler for a heckin epic rap battle, he wouldn’t have had to send the Red Army in

        You seem to equate all of the Wehrmacht (which mainly consisted of very young conscripts, many of them malleable, uneducated and never having come in actual contact with people outside of their direct environment) with the horrible atrocities a powerful elite amongst then chose to carry out. If you do, I pity you. If you don’t, you might see the nuance that discredits your own strawman fallacy.

      Paradox of tolerance… or paradox of intolerance? Point is appeasement doesn’t work and at the end of the day you have to be intolerant of the intolerant.

      Like you don’t even understand where the Red Warriors (and other antifascists in France) even came from, you look like an absolute fool right now, bumbling around in the dark and hitting furniture every few steps, meanwhile people watch on you with their flashlights. That’s how you look.

      Fascists used to (they still do, but they used to as well) co-opt everything. They started coming into punk shows which these bands of antifa activists used to go to, and started polluting them with their fascist crap. Then when people complained, the fascists would jump them.

      There’s a documentary around where ex red warriors explain how they fought against fascists, they used to drive around Paris with baseball bats and other weapons and jump random people or antifascists. They wore jewellery that had edges to inflict damage on a punch. Some of them actually illegally carried guns on them.

      I’m still talking about the fascists. What antifascists such as the red warriors did was to finally say enough is enough, we don’t want fascists making people scared to go to their shows and have fun, so they organised into their own gang and gave the fascists a taste of their own medicine. And it worked, fascists left the Parisian punk scene.

      By all means be my guest and debate the fascists and Nazis who want to eradicate entire races while I will try other ways to defend myself
