One time it wasn’t a bigot, but an old guy taking creepshots of college girls on the light rail

      The meme is talking about forcing bigots off the bus. This is the opposite of what the meme is about lol

      So to answer your question: Of course not

      “bUt ThAt’S wHaT yOuRe SaYiNg ThAt MoB jUsTiCe Is GoOd”

      Nope, not saying that at all. I’m saying we need to use direct action against bigotry and other forms of injustice. What we don’t need to do is create new injustices.

      This is literally “punching Nazis is bad” logic. “Logic.”

        Your logic is that we don’t need police because mob justice will take care of it. Which group is more prone to mob justice, I wonder?

          This is not my message. This is a very ungracious and bad-faith reading of my meme, and it’s not at all the situation I’ve described. The situation in question involves people who seek to cause harm.

            Ok but it assumes that the rest of the people on the bus are reasonable which is correct in this case but is a bad assumption to make.

              No, it doesn’t.

              Imagine if I post a picture of a BLM protest, saying I support it, and you reply by telling me if I support this protest, then I must also support white nationalist protests as well.

              That’s what you’re doing here, and it’s quite baffling that you can’t seem to grasp this.

              I believe in taking direct action against things that are harmful and oppressive, such as bigots. That’s … not really a controversial statement to make. It’s like saying we should punch Nazis. “Aha but now you need to punch everyone!” Uhhh … no. This leap you’ve made is quite irreconcilable with what I’ve communicated in my post and comments. It has some real “all lives matter” energy.
