Maybe you don't see yourself as any different than the leftist radicals, but I do. All I wanted was to stop immigration, improve the economy, and stop pandering to women and nonwhites. It's completely reasonable to be disgusted that the left would attempt an assassination or any violence in response to that. It's like if you call someone a bad word and then say, "yeah, they were right to chimp out and stab me. I would do the same."
I mean, not really. My desires are even less specific than yours. I just want to be left mostly alone.
That alone means I deserve to die according to my political opponents, and the reality of conflict is that stakes and depths are decided by the more extreme position.
Your choices are to meet them in kind, or to lose.
So yes, the left has yet to shoot at me. But that's 100% a tactical decision not a moral one for them. Pretending otherwise, pretending that we can have a gentleman's conflict is an illusion that ends the exact second they have a clear shot.
Congrats on your moral high ground, ill be sure to ask them to engrave it on your fancy tombstone.
If you want to be left alone then you would be better off not engaging in any violence. As much as I hate leftist ideology, it's a bit ridiculous to assume that everyone who expresses a left wing opinion is trying to kill me. One of your relatives, your neighbor, a fellow church-member, the old lady ringing up your merchandise; they could be naive Biden voters or maybe they were influenced by some reddit posts; are they enemy combatants? Do you need to attack them now before they attack you? That kind of tribalism is a rabbit-hole that never turns out well.

Yeah, this bullshit is straight up lies or ignorance. That kind of tribalism is the foundation of every stable, peaceful society in human history. I challenge anyone to name just one society that made no differentiation between society members and outsiders that lasted even a single generation. They don't exist because they were all conquered or wiped out by people who did.
Sure some tribal societies ended badly, but that's because everything has to end some way eventually and some inevitably won't be great, it's not inherently part of tribalism. Patriotism is tribalism on a grand scale, and the US used to practice it to a large degree. That didn't lead to the US becoming genocidal maniacs did it? No, they just quietly gave up patriotism without a single shot fired (much to the general detriment of the people now helpless to outside exploitation by people who do still practice tribal solidarity). Tribalism is a tool for better leveraging people's power and saying it's inherently evil is just as dumb as saying guns are inherently evil.
I want leftism wiped off the face of the Earth to such an extent that future generations look at it's very existence in this time as hilariously backwards with essentially zero living people putting any stock in any of its precepts whatsoever
Ah, yes. The National SOCIALIST party. the most right wing party of all time. Definitely. Not one doubt in my mind that the National SOCIALIST party was right wing.
It's been years. Years of this shit parading unendingly. If you're still stuck on disgust you're like a gastric surgeon who gets squeamish about vomit and shit.
It's an understandable response and in most other contexts perfectly reasonable, but in this one it's still going to piss off whoever has to pick up your slack in the operating room, maybe enough that they'll even call you a cuck. Because you're already on the team that's elbow deep in shit and just going "woe is me, I just want these bowels working correctly" instead of being willing to do the necessary work to make that reality. Disgust isn't a productive emotion and it's one that you rightly should acclimatize to if it's necessary.
Engage in real politics and think through the full series of causes an effects that don't lead to a sizeable domestic faction with establishment backing that wants you dead or enslaved actually killing or enslaving you or your friends.
Burying your head in the sand and wailing "I wish it wasn't this way!" isn't one of them.
Yes, that's exactly what I've been saying. If you think giving up all our principles and behaving like animals is a good tactic, or that condemning indiscriminate violence is "burying my head in the sand", then I don't really know what to tell you.

Tribalism as a scare word is why we're in this mess.
Fuck off cunt.

Oy vey, now the pieces are falling into place.
You mean like Nazism?
Ah, yes. The National SOCIALIST party. the most right wing party of all time. Definitely. Not one doubt in my mind that the National SOCIALIST party was right wing.
Well I'm not particularly interested in promoting genocides, but I'll give you kudos for being honest.

And what exactly would that be?
