    They are similar in american society because both would argue they have a right to exist, and both are targets for violence in public if they are overt about it. I’m simply saying neither should be attacked, the whole point is to coexist. People need to learn how to de-escalate and create bridges, not hit each other in the face with bricks.

    Edit to answer your question: Obviously not, black people don’t want to be white people. Trans people do want to pass as a specific gender.

      Fascism is an ideology based on the oppression of other people. The whole ideology is based around not coexisting with other people. And it’s not just trans people fascists have a problem with. It’s literally anyone who isn’t straight, white and also a fascist.

      The only way to coexist with fascists is to pretend to be one at which point, what you’re doing is worse than violence you’re pretending there isn’t a problem and allowing them to hurt other people. Fascists choose violence as their plan A. If you allow them to spew their hate you might as well lynch an immigrant yourself.

        You can’t coexist with them because you label them as fascists whether it makes sense or not. You sound just as unhinged as the caricature of others you are describing as fascism.

                The exact same way it was, which is to withhold violence unless you or an ally you have sworn to defend is attacked.

                  So to use violence then? Because the thing with fascism is that there are exactly 0 instances of fascist regimes existing peacefully. Not a single one. Fascism requires violence to work. It unites people in hatred of minority groups. The reason Putin is still waging war today despite having lost several hundred thousand troops, most of Russia’s armoured vehicles, a third of their strategic bomber fleet, half the black sea navy, and almost all international trade is because if he stops then his loyal followers will no longer fall in line. He needs to frame NATO as being the reason people’s lives are shit. Hitler needed to vilify the Jews because without a scapegoat he wouldn’t be able to get people to rally behind him. Pol pot and Stalin used academics as their scapegoats. But the common thread here is that fascism requires the persecution of one or more minority groups to survive. So yeah violence is the only option when dealing with fascists the only real choice is whether it’s done to the fascists or someone who hasn’t done anything wrong and just wants to live their life in peace.
