    Yes, we have an alt-right problem thanks to you allowing a house fire to start on our street after three decades of responding like assholes when we told you not to let your kids play with matches.

    “Your child’s going to start a fire and it’s going to spread.”

    “Shut up, you’re America’s hat.”

    And now that everything we’ve been telling you was going to happen IS HAPPENING, your response is. “LOL, it’s hittng your house next.”

      People have been working and dying to fight this on the left in the US since well before either of us were born. Attempting to blame the left instead of liberals or the fascists for the actions of the liberals and the right is antagonizing at best and maliciously doing the fascist’s job for them at worst.

      I assume you’re coming from a place of wanting a better world, but expecting people to kill outright is disregarding their position and the safety in their communities. People have lives and friends and families. When they lose what’s left for them to protect then you’ll probably start getting what you want.

        “We’re too comfortable and entirely unwilling to risk anything for what we claim to believe in”

        Yeah. Well aware.
