      People downvote but what else would work on fascists? Paradox of tolerance and all that jazz

          That may still work for the young ones, but the olders are beyond saving. We tried to educate them, and they refused. They called evidence-based knowledge “conspiracies” and new ideas “woke liberal trash”.

          The days of being nice and diplomatic are over. It did not work. Like-minded people are threatened with deportation and death.

          We have reached the point of active self-defense.

            It’s almost like if you educate the youth better through better funding of schools and better curriculums that it will become harder and harder for people to fall for this kind of propaganda. There’s a reason heavy red states have some of the worst education and public schools and those in power there want to keep it that way. It’s the same reason they go after the Department of Education, they want to limit access to education to only the wealthy so that the masses are easier to control with propaganda and fake news, so the response should be mass education campaigns. Killing them if anything just gives them more excuse to use the military and other things on you without at least some pushback. Self defense is one thing but saying half the country needs to be killed is entirely different.
