“We can’t fight back because then the Nazis will take the opportunity to punish us harder” has got to be in my top 5 cowardly thought-stopping bullshit comments.
You might also have gone with:
“It’s not as EASY as you seem to think”
“Yeah, well what have YOU done??”
“Did you not see the VERY effective and not-at-all-a-huge-joke No Kings protests a month ago?”
Jan 6 is characterized as a bunch of dumbfucks attempting to violently stop the peaceful transition of power after a legitimate election because they listened to the lies of a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist.
So yes, a Jan 6 is bad.
Is overturning an actually corrupt/authoritarian government a bad thing? Hell no. But that’s not what Jan 6 was.
Fucking stop with the bullshit messaging that doing a Jan 6 is bad.
Doing a Jan 6 for the reasons it was done is bad, and if you want your country back, you’re going to have to do much more than a Jan 6.
i get what you are saying, but we all really want the jan 6 type people persecuted.
we both know a “jan 6 for the right reasons” would be punished much more swiftly than this anyway.

“Keyboard warrior!”
thats really not what i said or meant. at all.
why are people so keen on misrepresenting what i’m saying on here lately?
I think people are tired of hearing comments from Americans that appear to make excuses for inaction.
i’m not usian, and i don’t get how wanting to punish jan6 adjacent people is passing as an excuse for inaction.
but i kinda want to know why people are arguing with stuff i didnt say today.
Anglocentrism. Everyone thinks you’re talking in the context of the US, a politically ridiculous place.

Idk why you’re getting downvoted. This is unironnically Lemmy’s take. Violence is okay as long as it’s Your Team© and not Enemy Team®.
Our Leopards are Different
Your comment probably sounds really bright to moral relativists.

This is my point.
Everyone I see on Lemmy/Bluesky, etc. only seems to be able to express outrage at the action itself, not its intended outcome.
