Oh, I fully agree with this. It's just that rape isn't exactly a solid form of antifascist praxis. The key is to make it virtually impossible for fascists to organize. You want to disrupt their events, deplatform them, hack their communications, dox them, etc. In addition to that, rehabilitating fascists and steering people vulnerable to far-right radicalization away from the far-right are also useful.
Edit: Another thing I would like to add is that white supremacism can be addictive, almost like a drug. White supremacists who try to abandon their hateful attitudes often find it difficult to do such a thing. Perhaps treating it similarly to a drug addiction might be useful.
Ok, you guys are getting hung up on the rape thing as if I condone rape towards people in general....there's a reason I called it ass rape in prison....cuz you know, that's what happens there.
Anyways, I'm gonna be brutally honest with you about what I think about all of this.....for every ONE person you will rehabilitate, the other 9 are already "too far gone".
This is of course my own subjective opinion, I don't have any study or data about it.
We are living in a dangerous time. I'm glad you agree with what I said about the events of January 6th, but there are far too many people on the Left that don't realize what exactly could've occurred if things had simply gone a little bit different.
Quite simply, Trump could've stolen the election, stayed in power, turned into a legitimate dictator, imprisoned his political enemies, and slowly but surely we are getting into 1930s Germany type shit...and I really don't think it's hyperbole to say that.
And the threat is far from over....the Trump Cult will NOT go away, thanks to the insanely stupid Republicans, we are now more than likely going to have yet ANOTHER election where Trump is on the ticket.
And IF he gets back in, I swear to EVERYTHING I believe in, he is Never going to leave.
The reason I say all of this is because fascism is a growing threat in this country that can NOT be ignored.
I know the story is based in Australia, my comments are the same nonetheless.
I'm sure the old me would've fully agreed with you and not take such an aggressive attitude towards this stuff...but that old me is long gone.
Everything I've seen since the elections have opened my eyes...the things I used to say "Can NEVER happen in America" are starting to happen.
And as a minority, it does rattle me a bit.
While people continue to laugh at memes and say all of this is just one huge joke...the fascists are NOT joking and they have a very real mission.
And the most unfortunate part is that history has a bad habit of repeating itself.
