If you see someone being beaten for voicing their beliefs, and you think "good, he deserved it". Then you might be a fascist.
[–]Trump_Hearts_Putin 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
I can take being called a fascist for wanting to beat the shit out of a Nazi.
[–]The_cuckmakerKentucky 1 point2 points3 points  (7 children)
Not all beliefs are created equal, or worth giving the respect of being treated with dignity and kid gloves.
For example, what if I had the belief that you were genetically inferior, and didn't deserve to live in my country? What if I got a whole lot of people fired up about said belief? What if some of those people had guns?
Should I be able to just voice my belief without consequence?
[–]American_FETUS 0 points1 point2 points  (1 child)
I'd punch you in the throat not the ear.
[–]The_cuckmakerKentucky 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Strange how that works huh?
[–]Adhoc_hk -1 points0 points1 point  (4 children)
If you think countering speech with violence is an appropriate action, then you might just be a fascist.
[–]The_cuckmakerKentucky 1 point2 points3 points  (3 children)
If said speech is inciting violence and encouraging it, then violence to stop it is perfectly acceptable.
But you keep pretending that Richard Spencer isn't a neo-Nazi and that he did nothing wrong.
Edit: I notice you did not answer my question.
[–]Adhoc_hk -1 points0 points1 point  (2 children)
I did answer your question. If you think that an appropriate counter to speech is violence, you might be the fascist.
His speech wasn't inciting violence. I don't see gangs of neo-nazi's out vandalizing and assaulting their fellow citizens. I see liberals doing that. They are the actual danger here.
[–]The_cuckmakerKentucky 1 point2 points3 points  (1 child)
No, you didn't. I asked you a yes/no question, which you could have answered and explained your answer. You didn't even attempt to answer it. You just made a vague statement in an attempt to dodge the question.
I guess you need to actually hear the jackboots before you think that its about time to say something.
Good to know which side of history you will fall on.
[–]Adhoc_hk 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
You are absolutely delusional.
If a nazi comes to beat you up, fight him, by all means.

Should I be able to just voice my belief without consequence?
There are a multitude of 'consequences' that we deal with every day for our beliefs/speech. Physically assaulting someone because their views are different than yours is not all right in a civilized society.
If you think physical violence is justified because you disagree with someone's beliefs, then you are a fascist.
