I left reddit because all of the brain dead right wing trumper zombies that toe the line, only to find the left wing equivalents here. Fuck politics as a team sport. Literally no difference between either side other than the team color

Bullshit, by this definition every journalist is under attack. Ngo was famously attacked in public with a concrete "milkshake" for supposedly being a nazi. There are people on Lemmy in other forums defending this. There is no confusion here, so don't sow it.

You said you argued with your friend about Ngo being attacked but not being the victim. Come on, it's not like your comment was 100 pages long.

Fuck Joe Rogan and fuck Ngo but also fuck you for continuing this narrative that violence against people you don't like is ok. Yeah Ngo is an asshole but so are a lot of other people. I'm sure you'll retort with him associating with fascists or providing kill lists (which is bullshit if you look into it) or being a "stochastic terrorist" (what the fuck even is that). You've gotta provide even assholes like Ngo due process or else things will devolve into stone age chaos. Only way arbitrary violence makes sense ideologically is if you are a fascist or a true anarchist, otherwise there is rule of law.

It's insane to me that your argument against Rogan is about not supporting anarchist guerilla warfare.

This "punch a nazi" bullshit is such a bad idea because 98% of the people that end up getting punched are just people you feel might be fascist-ish because you hear their supposed dog whistles rather than because they are actually wearing swastikas. It's the worst us vs them team bullshit.

And what's even worse is pacifists like myself will get unfairly bucketed as fascists by dumbfucks such as yourself for advocating against violence, and then you fail to see the irony.
