    I think people missed the point of your comment. I see many, many comments on here advocating or endorsing violent action against fascism.

    Okay fine, but if you can’t stomach a video of it, let alone witness it in person, why are you calling for it?

    Lots of people like eating beef until they have to kill the cow.

      That’s like asking why someone with a tumor is calling for a surgeon to cut it out, even if that person isn’t themself a surgeon.

      Lots of people would be extremely uncomfortable watching a major surgery, but that doesn’t and shouldn’t stop them from coming to the OR when they need one. Nor should they be forced to see footage of their operation.

      We have a fascism problem, and personally I’m thankful we have people with the aptitude and fortitude to address it, regardless of my own ability or lack thereof in that area.
