View submission: The Descent of Reddit
There are people (who rightly or wrongly) believe the United States is descending into some kind of fascist dictatorship. I'm highly skeptical of this but If it were the case, wouldn't violence be an appropriate response? You know what happened to the German SPD in 1933, right?
It's kind of like anti-abortionists. If you believe abortion is literally murder then doctors are killing children on a mass scale. If you believed children were being murdered down the street from you and the authorities weren't doing anything, wouldn't you try to stop it? I think anti-abortionists are lunatics but based on their beliefs their more extreme tactics seem like a natural consequence of their beliefs.
I'm reminded of that Trotsky quote - people who want peace at any price have chosen the wrong time to be born.

I agree, but I wrote this yesterday and now there's a video circulating on Reddit on how to obtain a firearm to kill your political opponents, not sure what to think about Reddit right now, but I think it's time for me take a break from subs where people post their political laundry..
