If you’re calling for individual action to be the only thing stopping bigots… then only individual action will stop bigots. Bigots will otherwise be free to do whatever they want. Including doing unto you what you’re doing unto them, namely, shoving your ass off the bus because they don’t like the look of you. With no state to fall back on for protection or recourse, your choices are to come back with a bigger gang, or walk.
Your moral rationale being better than theirs is not relevant. If you imagine group violence will only be done for good reasons then nobody should ever take you seriously. If you’re incapable of figuring out why everyone’s telling you this, can you at least take a hint from how everyone keeps telling you this?
You just called me a coward while shoving a strawman in my mouth. Take a playground insult in stride if you’re going to respond to polite explanations by acting this shitty.
Oh, it’s some other status-quo-defending strawmen you’re projecting nonsense onto. Because making shit up and going ‘nur nur nur, that’s what you sound like’ is sooo much more civil and constructive than ‘here’s why you’re wrong, butthead.’
Also - bit ironic running for the mods, yeah? In your post about not needing a state? You’ll brag about scrapping with actual fascists, outnumbered ten-to-one, but you’ll tattle to teacher if someone uses a no-no word. How dare they! All you did was strongly imply they’re a morally weak defender of fascism.
Meanwhile. Back at the point: relying on interpersonal violence to guide behavior kinda favors violent assholes. For reasons I really thought were obvious. Nobody’s out here saying only the state can guide behavior, but this image you’ve posted keeps resulting in these conversations that confuse you because you are in fact describing a mob. Focusing on when the mob has good reasons does not change that.
We’re pointing out Nazis can also punch you.
Jackass.

Uncivil personal attack. Reported.

I didn’t call you a coward. I said the people who stood up for me aren’t cowards.
