Unless they're fascists. Because punching nazis is a net positive for the world

I don’t think violently hurting people is a good idea.

A lot of people forget, due to the exceptionally stable nature of modern Western society, that society is built on violence. We, as citizens of a polity, subcontract out our violence to a central state. And this is, to at least some degree, a good thing - there's a central entity which can be observed and judged and regulated, rather than a million people all trying to enforce and judge one another's usage of violence as justified or unjustified.

But ultimately, such subcontracting of violence is conditional - as long as the central state represents our rights adequately, to at least some degree, people are willing to continue to surrender their own sovereign right to commit violence to it. Whenever the central state does not represent a citizen's rights adequately, the citizen often withdraws that surrender of sovereignty - either in total or, more often, conditionally - to protect their own rights.

When you make a contract - even in something as small as buying an apple - you are relying on the threat of force from the state to back it - "We will forcibly remove property or freedom from you if you violate this contract." Violence is a part of everyday life - what's important is to act in such a way that minimizes the need for it. In the case of defense of LGBT rights, sometimes that means using violence as a means of deterrence against the violence of bigots that is insufficiently deterred by state action.

Fascist lives don't matter.

How do you think Pride managed to become a reality? With "thank you" cards?

Yes, it's a shame fascists are so hell bent on doing that to us. But perhaps if they experience consequences, they may elect to do literally anything else with their life than harass queer people.

But I know I'm being too optimistic.

Some fascists would rather die than be better human beings... So it is only generous to oblige them.

They won't think twice about violently hurting trans folk though so...... Yeah

Nazis arent people

I understand this statement in principle but unfortunately thats not how the world works. If you tolerate intolerance you will just end up opressed or dead. Fascists don't have any problems hurting and killing whoever they deem not worthy of living, they should be met with the same prejudice.

Tell that to the fascists.

Crazy responses huh? If it makes you feel better, after they chase off any voices of reason, these type of people resort to eating eachother.

Rock concert

Stone convention

In germany at least, if someone else's bag is heavy, we ask if they're carrying stones in it.

And just like that, cargo pants made yet another fashionable comeback.

What song?
