    I roll my eyes real hard when moderates oversimplify to just “violence”. As if genocide and defense against genocide are morally equivalent in the slightest.

    It’s a coward’s way to sound principled while pretending state violence isn’t violence.

    “just leave fascism to fester and spread until it requires another world war, that’s much less violent”

    Makes total sense.

      It does, when you realise they’re confident enough in their privilege to believe (often rightfully) that a world war won’t impact them personally.

      Burner phone bought with cash set to auto upload to somewhere untraceable. After you are far away and safe.

      If can’t afford that and feel you need to document, disable all location tracking on your phone and put it in airplane mode. Do not take it out of airplane mode unless there is an extreme emergency. Not even wifi allowed. Disable all biometric unlock. Make a long PIN and memorize it, don’t write it down. Keep the phone locked or set it up to lock with one click in case it is taken from you.

      Just in total agreement here about everything else but we need proof.

        If you feel you need to document, just bring a camera. Doesn’t matter if it’s a DC-G9, or a point-and-shoot from Walmart, it’s a simple matter to strip meta info from images. If the federal government really wanted to track who was at a protest, they could probably figure out who bought a “burner” phone, even if you used cash. Those cheap phones still upload a vast amount of tracking data, and even if you turn off location tracking, it’s still on and working because Google doesn’t allow you to turn off location for their services. So even with it turned off, you can still be caught with a geofence warrant.

    Violence against Nazi isn’t violence, it’s exercising your civic duty.

    Punch a local nazi today!

    Copypasting this comment I copied from lemmy a couple months ago. Sorry OP I can’t remeber who you are.

    “One of the core tenants of neoliberal education is that violence is always wrong, it’s never the answer, etc. They repeat it so often and in so many places because it’s at obvious odds with the state. They use violence against us so often and on such wide scales that their only option is to convince that it’s not violence.

    Over producing with limited resources is violence. Throwing away food while people starve is violence. Leaving buildings empty while people die of the cold on the street is violence. Preventing the sick and dying from accessing healthcare is violence. Evicting people from their homes is violence. Depriving the chronically ill and physically disabled of the means of survival because they can’t generate capital for capitalists is violence. Climate change is violence.

    The truth is that they deeply fear what we would do if we actually recognized all those things as violence. They do literally everything in their power to prevent us from achieving class consciousness. They have infected literally every single facet of society in an effort to keep us from seeing each other as human.”

    Nonviolence is a social agreement. If you don’t promote violence against others, neither will I promote violence against you.

    Since that premise doesn’t hold for Nazis, the conclusion doesn’t restrain me either.
