😅 This is the problem with you knuckleheads. You really think this is the level of righteous crusade you're fighting here? Everybody who disagrees with you is basically Mussolini or Hitler and therefore deserves to die is certainly a take. But it's not a good one.

I've spoken to several racists and homophobes and transphobes in my time. None of them went on to gas the Jews or get bogged down in a land war with Russia. I've even managed to change some of their minds. Didn't cost me a single bullet.

And I've been able to do this because I know what I'm talking about, believe in what I have to say, and don't make the mistake of thinking yelling at people online or making tough guy statements that I'm never going to back up is helpful to anybody.

Then there are people like Daryl Davis, a black man who spends his free time attending KKK rallies and deprogramming KKK members. He hasn't killed any of them yet, but so far has convinced hundreds to leave the klan. And many of those have convinced hundreds more.

And let's not forget people like Christian Piccolini and Arno Michaelis and Angela King. Lucky nobody killed them. Because even though they were avowed racists and neo Nazis, they were persuaded by good old fashioned conversation to see the error of their ways, and then went on to deradicalise countless other extremists. Their familiarity with those groups made them invaluable in doing this.

But while I’m sure you’ve done none of that, I’m confident you’ve at least demonstrated your commitment to the cause of a better world by killing some racists and transphobes as Shaviro suggests, right? Right? Surely you’re not one of those people who’s all snark and no bite?
