Yes the left organized this, I was there during the special council of the Left in Minot last week, it was decided that Carlson would be harassed and it would further the Left's agenda in the public eye.
You have chosen to call out the left for protesting. You have not called out the right for acts of violence, except in a meek act of defense when somebody in this thread called you out on it.
It's cute you think there needs to be ammo.
If your goal is not the defeat of violence, hate, and extremist rhetoric, then you aren't much of an ally. I'm not saying that disobedience and even violence are never necessary in those goals, but let's not lose sight of the goal, which is fundamentally peace, order, safety, and tolerance.
If people wanna go into full on revolt against the right then that's cool with me but I hope they are aware of what that road looks like because it won't be pretty.
I think the people who have to bear the brunt of the consequences of Carlson's rhetoric are entitled to a little catharsis. Is it effective? Does it change anything? Maybe or maybe not. But that doesn't need to be the purpose of every action. This isn't being done in place of voting or protests or activism so I won't condemn it. The trans and gay people of Stonewall rioted for simple catharsis due to the overwhelming amount of stress and frustration to build up due to being oppressed and demonized. They certainly do that as a considered tactic and yet it changed something.
The fascist regime literally doctored video footage and released it to support their attempt to suppress the free press because a reporter was asking questions of their dear leader.
The road is already paved with the tears of children put in cages.
Then what is it, that Tucker should not have to live looking behind his back? News flash: when you advocate for horrific things, people take issue with that. He's been privileged enough to have his little bubble and be able to live a comfortable life while being a Nazi for a long time, too long. He has been free from consequences for his actions. He's been able to go have dinner, see a movie, maybe have a beer with his friends, all while being a Nazi. We do not strive to make their lives comfortable, because they want us dead. They are not working with reason, if you are a liberal or progressive, they want you dead. Make no mistake, they want you to not exist. If they could push a button to disappear you tomorrow, they would, but they can't so they do it through tearing apart the social fabric of society and stripping people of their humanity (NPC's) and basic rights until they get to a point where it happens. Donald Trump could order the National Guard to fire on American citizens and you know Tucker would defend it.
It's more the menacing "we know where you live" threats that I think are crossing the line. I have no problem with calling the guy every name in the book. There's a line between making someone feel hated and making them feel fearful for their physical safety.
It means using Dr. King as something you throw out to end a battle without actual consideration for his ideals and the context of the time. It means using him as a bludgeon without any substance. Dr. King was despised as an instigator of violence and his tactics were called "unhelpful" to say the least by white America. He literally ended up killed for his ideals and yet some of the very things he fought for still have not changed or come with an asterisk in modern day. He knew and sympathized with exactly why riots happened among his community despite trying to prevent them. He lived alongside Malcolm X and the advent of the Black Panthers who were a lot more radical and yet still effective. The Black Panthers literally had to buy and pose with guns to get gun rights laws to change. Nothing is as simple as "behave like Dr. King and equality will come".
You call them white supremacists. They call you communists.
Yeah, making noise outside a house is totally the same as running someone over.
The right is murdering people and caging children, the left is *checks notes* inconveniencing fascists
This site misses me with this nonsense.
Why do you care what the opinion of Nazis are? Just because they say something doesn't mean it has merit.
So your opinion is Nazis should be comfortable. That is a horrible opinion. Or, cards on the table, do you just think Tucker isn't a Nazi, is that it?
